    You need to be careful about blocking IP's. There are a lot of very smart spammers that can easily mask their own IP and either use or spoof another IP address.

    On Falcon Living do you have contact forms? I do not see any. These spammers are abusing the contact forms.
    There are spam bots that will scan your website looking for the mailto: links then spam that address. Could that be what you are recieving?

    Also ... As HHI Golf Guy said, blocking IP's will not help, as these scripts are most likely being run from infected machines (Zombies).

    I have found one of the best ways to stop (or inhibit) spam to my emails is to always use outlook express but have xterminator set up on my computer. xterminator filters all emails off of your computer on your server, they are then listed for you to add filters, block sender, block message title (or words) etc. You can also set it up to autorespond with any message of your choice ;-), but by doing this you are sending back your email address to the sender so I do not use this feature.
    I like it.
