I have been running a website with WordPress blog since few time.

I have been receiving email reporting that few specific address has been posting un-related comments in my website. I am receiving like one email per minute from same IP address.

So since the IP address is posting un-related comments I would like to block it.

But don't know how?

Its something like: 178.238.232.234, 234.232.238.178.static.giga-dns.com

You can block them using htaccess by putting something like this in the htaccess file in your root Wordpress directory:

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from 178.238.232.234
