This is interesting. I’ve noticed that most of the hits on my site come from host-148-244-150-58.block.alestra.net.mx. A little digging shows that “it’s been a major spammer”:http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=%22host-148-244-150-58.block.alestra.net.mx%22&btnG=Search of blog comments and Wikis.
In general *.bloc.alestra.net.mx is a major source of spam on my site. I’d like to block the whole ISP at the webserver level by modifying my .htaccess file. Looking through my logs, it looks like 148.144.15.X and 207.248.240.X are the offending address blocks.
That should help.
Heh, I noticed the same thing and took this spammer blocking to a whole new level. My blog entry about it is at:
http://www.paultastic.com/blogs/index.php?p=117&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1#more117
And, I maintain a list daily, whenever someone spams me I put them in the forbidden list. Check out my details at:

It’s a proxy. I’m using it right now. Feel free to block it, I don’t think that anyone needs to use it.
Yup, those IP numbers will work. I have them blocked on my site – seems to be the favourite open proxy of a couple of spammers who’ve targetted my blog. I also found that implementing some .htaccess rules I found at Spam Huntress’ site completely blocked one particular bunch of spammers…
Well, that is iritating, all this time I thought it was blocked, but because of the way my webserver is setup, the cgi-bin directory, where their favorite target lives, wasn’t protected.
I did the same thing on my firewall.
Yeah.. the wierd thing is when I looked up the host
at google I found this:

VERY ANNOYING! 🙁
I have noticed this IP on my web stats just recently and got to thinking that it was a proxy. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to block it. The person I feel is using it is a deranged psychotic ex wife of my husband, she visits several times a day and since this IP has been visiting her visits have stopped.
Please Help!!
I am getting the same spammers on our guestbook and this last week has been HORRIBLE! I manual block the ip address when it shows up but I have noticed that it is not showing up all the time now (meaning when someone signs the book I can see their ip address)
Any suggestions as to how I can block spammers like this in a guestbook format?
Thanks
