I just got my first ever spam comment (on a post I made back in July). I know how to delete comments, but I'm pretty sure I've seen some people mention there's a way to block certain IP addresses from commenting in order to prevent this kind of thing from becoming a problem. Does anybody know how to do that?

Bummer. I have some friends who aren't on LJ who sometimes comment on my entries, so I guess I'll have to wait and see if this drive-by spamming is an isolated incident or the start of a problem before I decide to start screening.
