    One of my contact forms is receiving some harassing messages. I'm wondering if I can block the sender?

     

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Thank you for contacting us.

    If the messages are coming from the same IP address we can try to block it on our end. Please check this and provide us with the IP address if this is the case.

    Mike,

    Yes, if you could block IP address 207.38.129.104, that would help. The client this form is for recently suffered a family tragedy and getting these harassing messages is upsetting her.

    Thanks,

    I have blocked that IP from accessing the site but it may not fully block them from being able to fill out the form. 

    You can set up unique submissions through the form to limit each IP to only a single submission:
