IP addresses are logged in the web server and can be blocked with a firewall software like iptable if you have control on your server. However, I would rather recommend using something like that: [ extensions.joomla.org/extension/ospam-a-not/](https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/ospam-a-not/) From the feedback we got by other users, it seems quite effective.
