He is leaving comments & sending emails through the contact form which are full of p*rn site urls etc. He is spoofing his ip address so denying access on ip is out. The only thing consistent is the browser he uses. The string returned in the access log is "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; MSNIA; Windows 98)" and I thought I can deny access to the web site for this user agent as till now this guy is the only one visitor to my site using a browser returning this string. I am a newbie and do not have much knowledge of regular expressions etc. I know that with the proper settings in the htaccess file I should be able to stop him. Mod rewrite is available. Web server is Apache 1.3.34. Any pointers/help will be highly appreciated.BrowserMatch MSNIA badbrowser <Directory ...> Order deny,allow deny from env=badbrowser </Directory> Joshua.
