22110.s.t4vps.eu spammed me. Though they resolved a host name to 194.135.93.53, there was scant info on this host name, so I researched them. I do not see a pattern.

no.rdns.ukservers.com content spammed me, so I researched them. They have a sister host name, no.rdns-yet.ukservers.com, with very much the same ip ranges. See for yourself. They are industrious in their use of IPs.

bezeqint.net content spammed me, so naturally I researched them. They are very smart, these Israelis, and employ a variety of anti-bot software techniques, in order to evade identification. Hats off to them for deploying these tactics. I hope they keep up the good work.

reverse.completel.fr gave me some error 404s, so I thought to look them up. This research excludes reverse.completel.net. Be careful here because though you could ban the whole /16 range you would exclude a whole bunch of French people, and that would be bad.

ioflood.com piqueted my interest in their novel hostname: we.love.servers.at.ioflood.com. This turned out to be a barrage of IP addresses, something I did not expect.

Voxility has been scraping me for a while and I’ve banned their hostnames, but I could not look up lh27033.voxility.net, so this started the research.

M ulberries, we have in the backyard, compliments of our large black mulberry tree. With it comes the mulberry mess. Well, you either frown or you make the best of the situation. In this case: mulberry sorbet.
It started as a sproutlet at the side of our house. I was unsure if it was actually a mulberry as there were 3 or 4 different types of leaves growing from the same plant. I thought it was, so transplanted it to a sunny location and waited 4 years until it started fruiting. It has been going strong ever since.
hosted-by.blazingfast.io spammed me, so I looked them up. They are an orderly shop.

client.yota.ru spammed me so I did research. This Russian spammer makes it difficult to track them down. They are prolific. They also have the host name wimax-client.yota.ru that they also use to spam.

customer.clientshostname.com scraped me, and the name is very generic, so I thought to research it. clientshostname.com has a lot of customer names prepended to it, so this excludes all their names. Three IP ranges should do you.
