Blocking from apache: <Location /> Order Allow,Deny Deny from <INSERT IP TO BLOCK HERE> </Location>You can block it at the network stack level too, this way apache does not even see the request, ex on linux using iptables.

Hi, I'm new to this, and I'm no specialist in Apache, sorry. My site is bombarded by POST requests from a site identifying itself like 123.123.123.123.word.word.word.wordA "deny from" instruction with a string trying to match this in .htaccess does not appear to work (though other abusers with simple IP's I can get barred this way). The leading IP is always a fake, and it is changed every time they POST new crap. A safe criterion must focus on the word-part.Do you have a working string for me? Can you suggest another method?(I have made a change to the mailto.cgi script that sends the crap into /dev/null, exploiting a mistake in the form data that they are sending, but soon they'll find out, and I want to be a step ahead of them).Thanks in advance
