My b2evolution Version: Not Entered

Howdy, I have a problem where I am being spammed by a certain individual

IP: 62.33.12.24, dialup-24.pskov.ru

Please assist in letting me know how to ban spammers so they cant spam the blog?

Thanks

You can ban in backoffice -> Antispam. There is a textbox you can use. In your case I would ban "pskov.ru". In other case s you would ban a broader or a smaller part of the URL. To ban an IP you need to hack .htaccess, but from the info you provide here a ban o the URL will keep it out.

Good luck

All4Data,

If the IP is static (doesn't change) you could ban the IP in your .htaccess file.

Just add the following:


# Block IPs
  
order allow,deny 
allow from all 
deny from 62.33.12.24
deny from [ other IPs here ]    

#### end Blocking
