Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.
I am pretty new at this, but this might be helpful.
Since I had more spammers signing up on my web site than real people, I found the http://www.stopforumspam.com site which helped me to determine that these addresses were from spammers (though the strange names helped). In the configuration>>people>>IP blocking section, I started blocking the IP addresses (which helped some). But one spammer used a number of IP addresses with the same email address.
I had installed the Mollom module as recommended by the Drupal 7 Manual book by David Ipswich. This module is controlled under configuration>>content authoring>>Mollom content moderation, which has a blacklist tab. On that tab, I am now selecting the 'Author e-mail' and blocking that email setting. I think that will work, too.

quicksketchYeah Mollom is a good choice. You might also try Honeypot.
Webform has never provided this feature as far as I know.
You could also try installing Webform Validation module to set up explicit "Field must not contain some string" validators.
