the webmaster is the one doing it

he denys it been him but people have seen him doing it.mods on his own site reported him to me
i think he uses proxy server
i cannot ban him

Do you allow guests to post or send pm's?
Are you using mail verification on registration?
Maybe moderating new registrations.
Put new members in a usergroup that is only allowed 2 or 3 PM's.
Upgrade them after 10 posts or 1 week to ful membership allowing more PM's.

Just some ideas to make it difficult for him, in the hope he will give up.

contact their host and say they are spamming your site. the host will most likely pull the plug on the site or warn them. as most hosting companies have a strick policy against spamming.

the mail verifaction never sends a activation link to there email add so i dont use it
moderating new members how does that work?will it allow me to read there pms b4 it reaches the user?
