chris,

:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

: are they submitting their own forms to your script? If so
: you can quite simply check whether the referrer script is
: your own script or someone else's and stop submissions
: unless they use your own script.
:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

be careful with this one as the http_referer is sent by the user's browser.
it would be a trivial task to spoof the referer and make your site think i
came from the necessary page.

good luck,
