IP Address Filtering

Ave,

I¹ve run into a slight problem. We maintain a Guestbook for our company¹s
website. Lately we have been getting a lot of ³Spam² entries into the
Guestbook. 

I added a snippet into the PHP Script & a field in the mySQL database to
record the IP Address of posters. However, for the SPAM posts, it records
³Null² instead of an IP Address. I¹m using $REMOTE_ADDR to records the IP.
It records IP Addresses of any genuine poster... But NULL for the spam
poster. 

What else can I do to block the SPAM entry? Is there some other Unique
Identifier that I can record of the Spam poster and then block him?

Thanks,
