Hello,
A quick question;
I have a particularly annoying and persistent spammer who keeps sending emails via my website (on a form built in Web Form Builder). I have tried to block their domain and IP via my webhosting but it is not working.
I use Web Form Builder (but not using S-Drive) which works really well for me. Is there a way to block them in the settings Web Form Builder software, say blocking everything from their domain, e.g: "*@annoyingspammer.com"?
Many thanks for your help!

There are not so many things you can do about blocking real people especially if they are even a little bit savvy. Blocking ip address can be done with some js code but all it needs is for whoever is doing it to use one of those virtual private network thingies and there you are never the same IP address. You mentioned a domain name, but you couldn't block that because they wouldn't come to your site from their domain. However it might be possible to do something if they use something in the form like the same email address, but then once again all they would have to do is change the email address etc. You would probably spend more time changing the blocking parameters than just deleting the emails.
