The best spam protection I ever had, was a bunch of hidden text input fields on my mail contact form, with names like “blindcopy”, “bcc”, “cc”, “additional address”, etc.

They all had default values.

If the submitting handler detected any values in these fields that were different from the default, the submission was rejected.

I don’t think I ever got a single bogus email from that form.
