I have a page on my website for users to contact me. I've been getting a lot of bogus emails with the form filled in with gibberish and what appears to be spam from a BOT. My web design software allows me to use "captcha" to prevent non-human users from submitting a form but this didn't stop the emails. Is there a way that I can block certain IP's or even better an IP range such as 192.168.2.xxx?
I saw a previous post about using the guestbook feature but does this block for the entire website or only when they go to the guestbook page? I'd like to block these IP addresses from accessing the entire website.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for both of your replies, this is exactly what I was looking for. Although since I've implemented a "captcha" the bogus emails have slowed down somewhat.
