Well, long-awaited by my old lady and my family, anyway, because I've been working on it (and talking about it) for months.
www.spamfilteredforms.com
This is basically just a bunch of php-powered spam filters on a mail form. They use behavioral analysis and a bit of content analysis to try to filter out robots. I may also add RBL lookup in the future; I'm not sure whether whatever improvements in accuracy of detection will be worth the extra overhead.
The immediate idea is that anyone who wants can simply create a form and link it from wherever they choose. The site is ad-supported and free. Future plans include paid ad-free versions, as well as licensing sites to embed a script or an iframe on their own sites, while doing the spam-handling on my server.
This is based on a similar site for text messaging I wrote about a year ago, which works very well despite very sloppy code and ponderous databases. (I'm going to re-write that one soon.) Major difference, however, include the following:
Any comments appreciated.

- There is only one database, and it holds only the minimum required user information. The mail itself is never saved on the server.
- The code has been cleaned up, tightened, and is more secure.
- Some redundant filters have been eliminated, while a few others have been added.
Any comments appreciated.
