Form security validation

I need to add some spammer security to my mailform. But all image-validation
scripts I've tried to include just won't work together with my form
processing script (a script wich works really good).
So how to stop spammers and spambots, anyone with any idea for some code to
use without saying goodbye to my excellent form processing script? I've
tried javascript, but... Any wise snippet to include somewhere?

Have you tried the PEAR package for this? It's not that advanced yet
but take a look anyway.

Take a look at it here: http://pear.php.net/package/Text_CAPTCHA

If you can't easily implement a new piece of code to it, it can hardly be
described as "excellent".
