Getting Spam throug wp-contactform

[berry24]

Hi! I'm using WP contact form 1.3 on Wordpress 2.0. Yeah, I know there's a 1.4 version already, but the changelog doesn't mention anything about spam, only in 1.3, and that's the one I have. Anywho, recently I've been getting a lot of spam. Like 10 e-mails in half an hour or something, and since the e-mails are being sent to 10 persons simultaneously, I had to deactivate the plugin.
Can this be resolved? An example of a spam mail:

I am getting the same thing. Three emails each night, and one of them has a bcc email address. I googled it and found some discussion here at ​http://www.anders.com/cms/75/Crack.Attempt/Spam.Relay

Unfortunately I do not know the first thing about code, so my hands are tied.

Here is the email with full headers:

I'm also getting alot of spam. I asked for captcha support in one ticket already.

​http://dev.wp-plugins.org/ticket/332

There must be a simple way to stop this. Even using javascript will work.

I don't think the developer gives a shit. I emailed him twice and tried contacting him through his contact form as well and got no reply at all.

So since he is ignoring everyone I have taken on the task to fix this. When I have finished it I will post my fixes here and on my blog.

@sgrayban
The dev of this plugin isn't required to "give a shit" if he doesn't want to. He provided a tool for free and is certainly under no obligation to support it. He also has a life of his own, so don't be so damn quick to condemn him just because you aren't satisfied with his apparent inaction.

That said, I too am having a spam issue right now from the contact form. I'm not a fan of Captchas, so I don't support that enhancement request.
