VK.API: Captcha needed error

Question

Are there any vkontakte api developers? I need your help! I have an Yii application, running by cron (every 10 minutes) on dedicated IP. It makes about 2.8 queries per second, but the "Captcha needed" error is still occurs... Here is some info about error (russian) http://vk.com/pages?oid=-1&p=%D0%9E%D1%88%D0%B8%D0%B1%D0%BA%D0%B0%3A_Captcha_is_needed

Is there any way to make periodic queries to VK.API without risk of error?

Thanks for any help!

Unfortunately, there is an anti-spam protection for some API methods in VK. You can send a lot of queries for getting information, etc., but methods like wall.post or message.send require to enter the captcha text to not allow spam-bots use VK API.

The only solution that I see is the usage of some captcha decoder services. Anyway, sending posts via cron is not a good idea at all.
