Deny by E-mail Address
Does anyone know of a mod to deny a user based on e-mail address? I have one guy coming in and continually adding garbage links. I can't use .htaccess to deny him by IP, because he isn't on a static ip - but he always uses one of the same two e-mail addresses.

I had this recently from a user in China. I banned the IP range. If for example the addresses are 61.62.63.64, 61.62.63.65, etc you can ban a range in .htaccess by just entering the first part of the address:

order allow,deny
deny from 61.62
allow from all

Thanks for the reply.

I have fouled up denying by IP in the past - also denying some valid users. However, I may have to resort to strongarm tactics. Maybe I'll put an .htaccess file right in the cgi-bin directory. That way, others with the same IP ranges will still be able to access html pages elsewhere.
