Okay.. So this one came in after I added the new setting:

whatever@mail.ru

Any ideas on how to prevent this from happening anymore?

Thanks in advance...

If you did what I said that should have been blocked. I just tested his myself.

Ah, good old .ru
I think I banned them a long time ago.

Yes, use: .ru

However please note that this will ban any address with .ru in it.

I don't know why it's not working. My board is VERY LIGHTLY modified. I mean maybe two plugins... Is there a way to just ban .ru from a domain in a .htaccess file or something?
