You can simply block IP address of spammers by editing /etc/sysconfig/iptables file under, CentOS Linux, Fedora Linux or RHEL 4.x/5.x etc

Open file /etc/sysconfig/iptables, Append ip address of spammers as follows:

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -s SPAMMER-IP -j DROP
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -s SPAMMER-SUBNET-BLOCK -j DROP

Save and close the file. Just restart the firewall:

# /etc/init.d/iptables restart
