Annoying Spammer

204.139.56.17

I get nearly all my spam form this IP address. is there anyway I can block this IP (this is for a gmail catch-all account) I have tried to filter the IP and the email addresses they use - these include
hilltopwebaz.com
topglobalfuture.com
topgloballink.com
toplanddesign.com
kisquares.com

But they still keep coming! I have sent an email to abuse@topland - will see what happens

lol - it bounced back

I like to retaliate. Report it to Spamcop or Knujon, for instance?

Knujon have reported closures of several significant sources of spam and spamvertising...

I also use MailWasher, which can be set up to do dns blacklist lookups, and then block (or at least identify and then delete) your spam before it gets as far as your email client. In theory, you can write your own filters with regular expressions, but it's quite a job to parse specific IP addresses dotted throughout the header.

Speaking of which, could you set up a filter in your email client to block any email containing the suspect IP address in its header?

HI.

The email client is GMail, which I think is where the problem is. I have added the Ip to the From box, but this doesn't stop them arriving.
