	Hi We are getting registrations from the above site which is a known spamming, malware host. They are based in the US. I dont want to block too big a range. I cant block the email address as its a gmail account. I cant find an area where you can block a hostname which is what the IP lookup comes up with of 184-82-17-37.static.hostnoc.net Any ideas? Thanks

	On that posting do "Post Options" then "Block Poster's IP". It takes a single IP or a range. You can maintain the list in administrator's options.

	The host name 184-82-17-37.static.hostnoc.net is the reverse DNS for the IP address 184.82.17.37 Web Wiz Forums does not block domains based on host name even if it did the visitors browser or bot may give a fake or different host name to that obtained through the reverse DNS. As the host name 184-82-17-37.static.hostnoc.net is the reverse DNS for 184.82.17.37 you should block the IP address as this reverse DNS hostname would not be associated with any other IP address.
