Mr. Geek of the Week is partially right, you should change any standard names of the fields, like email, or name. But the bots are also getting smarter: not knowing witch textfield is witch, they enter raw headers in all of them.
I don`t know perl, but in PHP, you can do something like this to parse all the POST data for unwanted headers:

foreach ($_POST as $post_data)
 if (eregi("/content-type|mime-type/", $post_data)
 {
   // unwanted headers
   die ("Da-te-n gatu` ma-tii"); // well...something "nice" for the bot :))
 }

Change not only the name of the program as you asked, but also change any "Standard" form field names.

There is a similar thread not to long ago on this topic. If I can find it, I'll edit this and post it.
