Make sure your .htaccess is in the root html folder of your website where you main index.php file is. You should start to see the requests logged in your error log when they try to connect. If you run your own server I recommend simply added the ip to the firewall and dropping the packets all together. As for the letter from the web host....nothing, nada, zero. I suspected I would not hear from them. Honestly it might actually be the web host doing the spamming! The line to deny from 195.225.177.48 should stop them from accessing your website.

Its very tiresome to delete the spam (I have Akismet, so its only 1 click but still tiresome). I put the ip in my htaccess but the spam keeps coming. My htaccess goes like this order deny allow deny from 195.225.177.48 What is wrong with this? Please let us know what became of the e-mail you sent to the hoster these bast…ds discovered my page as well.
