My ISP have recently pulled a form from one of my client sites. They say
that it was being spammed. They asked me to add some extra validation to
the email in teh header, which I have.

They have since pulled the form again and are now demanding that I user
their formmail script. I dont want to do this, I was some nice friendly php
validation.

I just wondered if it was usual for the hosting provider to act like this ?

Hell, yes!! No _responsible_ ISP wants to have their ip netblock(s) end
up on blocklists because some klewless "web master" feels it's ok to
host an open spamming operation.
