The administrators on our site keep getting a spam letter from a person (who we don't know).
Just wondering how we block an address, does the main administrator have to do it?
And is anyone else getting this crazy email or is it only us?Sad

Goes like this (and on and on and on.....)

Lord Jesus Christ please add vigorous pain in my job so that help me to further my job contract as I now use something to cut into my body in order to keep on praying, pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, a-men.

Thank God for that I can submit my prayer request here, and thank you for your prayer, may God bless you.
Firstly, please pray for that my mother was cheated by Mr. Kwong, Mr Ho, Hin Chai and Anna years before, she went to a company

Barbara:

Email that comes through the Contact Us form includes the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the sender.

Class Creator is going to want to know that IP number so they can block that IP address.

The IP address is a series of numbers separated by dots (periods) and is the unique identifier of the sender.

Thank you John, I have pasted it below.

IP Address: 61.18.170.105

so CC has to block these type of emails? We can't do it from the website? How annoying something like this can be. We have all gotten this same email 3-4 times, can't ignore it any more.
Wonder how these people pick their targets.Rolling Eyes

That IP address is in Hong Kong, Barbara.

I used http://www.ip2location.com/ to locate it.

Bad guys build webcrawlers to find opportunities like "Contact Us" and misuse them. CC has blockers built in to their servers so when the same IP address starts posting on too many Contact Us forms in a short time they can automatically cut them off.

But Brad will tell you those who build these nuisance crawlers are always trying to figure out the techniques sites like CC use to block them. Rolling EyesRolling Eyes

Thank you again John, hope no other CC websites have gotten this one. So it can/will be blocked?
