[support] spam?

[William Smith]

Everyone gets these, and the volume gets worse as time goes on and botnets
and such grow larger.  They are just spambots, it is not anyone targetting
you.

Without adding CAPTCHA, or Mollum, or Akismet, or any of the other tools
available to block automated submissions, you will eventually drown in the
spam.
