Re: Blocking Inappropriate Content on Contact Form

if ($String =~ /sex/) {

What's wrong with "Greetings from Essex"?

The rest of the program checks for "Not a Robot", Enter Anti Spam number, etc and then forwards the message to my email service. [...] How can this be? How is the spammer getting by my safeguards?

By using the email service directly, bypassing those trivial checks?

Add some logging, especially log $String (plus date plus remote IP). If you still get spam, but find no traces in the log, that's what happened.
