Thanks very much.

Do I need the "*" in the banning email address? Or would simply .cn work also?

I had a look at the spammers that have signed up overnight. Here is a list of their IP addresses. Only the ones with the "*" are in the countryipblocks.net list!!! I am guessing they are using a proxy or something?

24.61.253.220
65.15.166.165
67.162.239.84
68.58.142.131
76.223.78.202
89.209.83.36
98.176.34.12
113.96.42.67 *
120.8.167.1 *
122.158.90.34 *
123.116.177.196 *
123.238.70.93
125.40.49.200 *
195.239.224.26
208.98.45.237
219.133.123.149 *

Thanks again for all your help. I think this should result in a dramatic reduction in spam (fingers crossed!).
