First form Spam

Question

Congratulations to me...my first spam from a form!
Anyway, submission result below, is this typical or does it
look like
someone is just trying to be funny? And should I bother to
reject the ip
address for future submission?
Second, would it work to simple create an image with text on
it that a
submitter would need to type into a validation required
field, ot do I need
to get a captcha program?

Thanks so much, so this is what the total script looks like,
and I have
changed the from label from address2 to address. Does this
look good?
include("thankyou.php");
// Receiving variables
@$pfw_ip= $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
@$name = addslashes($_POST['name']);
@$company = addslashes($_POST['company']);
@$phone = addslashes($_POST['phone']);
@$email = addslashes($_POST['email']);
@$url = addslashes($_POST['url']);
@$comments = addslashes($_POST['comments']);
// Validation
if (strlen($phone) <8)
die("<p align='center'><font face='Arial' size='3'
color='#FF0000'>Please
enter a valid phone</font></p>");
if (strlen($phone) >15)
die("<p align='center'><font face='Arial' size='3'
color='#FF0000'>Please
enter a valid phone</font></p>");
if (! ereg('[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\@[A-Za-z0-9_-]+\.[A-Za-z0-9_-]+',
$email))
die("<p align='center'><font face='Arial' size='3'
color='#FF0000'>Please
enter a valid email</font></p>");
// checks if bot
if ($_POST['address'] != '' ){
die("Changed field");
//Sending Email to form owner
$pfw_header = "From: $email\n"
. "Reply-To: $email\n";
$pfw_subject = "Submission from website";
$pfw_email_to = "leftoutforpostreason";
$pfw_message = "Visitor's IP: $pfw_ip\n"
. "name: $name\n"
. "company: $company\n"
. "phone: $phone\n"
. "email: $email\n"
