Look into honeypots they do work. Bots are blind to certain things.

one of them is 'styles'

Code:

<style type="text/css">
.check 
{
display:none;
}
</style>

<input class="check" type="text" name="email" value=""/>

PHP Code:

//script to validate honeypot
if($_POST['email'] != NULL)
{ echo 'Your a spam bot, I will send no emails'}
else {
     mail(myemails);
}
