Good morning Jim and the list,

I'm one of them. Blind and administrating two drupal sites.

I didn't have to set-up any spam protection on the drupal sites I
amadministrating, so far. But as a user, what I find the mostconvenient
is when sites send you a code or a link in an e-mailyou then have to
re-send to the site to prove your request is legitimate.

I realise this is not an absolute protection, but perhaps this would be
enough to discourage spammers: wouldthey really want to automate such a
thing: fill a form, wait for an e-mail, extract the information from
that mail and then re-submit to the site...

The other point is that I don't know whether there are Drupal modules to
do that.

Well sometimes captchas may be okay if there is an audio equivalent and
if the sound is distinct enough to be heard. I already experienced with
audio captchas youcould absolutely not hear !

A satisfactory solution for me was the one used on project Euler's
website. It was audible, didn't use any javascript, so I found it pretty
cool and it is the only good experience I can think of regarding
captchas.

hth,
