There's a captcha mod here:

I haven't tried it.

Additionally, you could block the IP address using either cPanel or your .htaccess file.

Captcha can be seen on my site.

is that the enter the letter to varify you are human thing??

[Steven300]

Yes. It would be useful if the messages you received were from some sort of script. If not, blocking their IP address might be best. You might also be able to filter any future messages out by altering the settings in your email program.

it comes from a different email every time, most are going to my spam box but some aint, plus i check my spam box everyday as some other thing go in there that should't.

blocking the IP is actually kinda worthless, since they usually use a proxy of some kind,
would suck to block 1/2 of AOHell users from your site cause of a robot.

captcha is the way to go
