Its bloody annoying though. I would have thought that trying to prevent that script being called by anything other than a proper page would be the way to tackle it - but you just know that the spammers would then find some new way round it. Not that they are that clever - I'm sure they are just script-kiddies using someone else's code, but the ones who write that code are always up for a challenge. That sounds about right.

Not that they are that clever – I’m sure they are just script-kiddies using someone else’s code, but the ones who write that code are always up for a challenge.

They formulate the request so it looks like it comes from a real page, but doesn't show up as a hit on the site. That's based on something I vaguely remember reading, though, so could be completely wrong.
