Need Help With Massive Spam Attack.

I'm having some problems with reedlan an ISP from Ukraine and i have been unable to contact them because there whois details list an email address that does not exist.

http://www.stopforumspam.com/whois/46.151.53.19

Shows the abuse address as this:

abuse-mailbox:  noc@reedlan.com

Yet when i send them an email i get this as a bounce back:

noc@reedlan.com
mail.reedlan.com
Remote Server returned '<mail.reedlan.com #5.0.0 smtp; 550 No Such User Here">'

There IP 46.151.53.19 is spamming literaly every page on multiple sites and its doing both registration and contact forms with the following info:

Name: Xrumertest
Email: yourmail@gmail.com
Phone: 123456
Message: Hello. and bye.

While i have .htaccess denied this IP on some of our sites i can see its slowly progressing across our other company websites and this is not one or two contact forms this is spam to the point of DDoS...

At this point ive tried everything phoneing the ISP (no answer) emailing them on various emails ive found on there site (I've even had the emails translated).

I cant belive that they have been able to do this for literaly five days 24/7 thats hundreds of millions of hits to our sites and i can see from the blacklist here that they are hitting others to.

So what can i do?

Who can i report them to?

Any help welcome!

Richard.

Do you have firewall access on your host?  Block the bastards there.  They deserve nothing less.  Or install ZB Block and block them there (default sigs probably already do).


Spam happens when greed meets stupidity.

Hi AliceAt

Do you have iptables installed in your server? The line that TETYYS shows is a single line for the firewall implemented using iptables. You would need command-line + superuser access to your Linux server. It is, without a doubt, the best way to stop abusive access from any IP/prefix, but the learning curve is steep.

If you don't have access to iptables just use deny from 46.151.48.0/21 in htaccess and be done with them.
