Is there a way to block email address or IPS from the blog postings?

I get the same spammer posting daily. I do delete them since I have it set for me to approve before it is seen. Just wanted to block if possible

This is the spammers email ***

Hello Aulton,

Blocking should be done on the server, at source.  This is not a WebSite X5 function.

Ask your webhost for advice on the most efficient way to combat the spammer, according to your specific server configuration.

Most common Apache installations make this process relatively easy.

Typical cPanel instructions:

Kind regards,
