Greetings,

I run a small site at http://strivinglife.net/ that uses the blogging software WordPress.

On Feb 21, 22, 23, and 24, the IP address 58.65.232.169 posted 88 comments that were marked as spam.  These comments consist of links to various blogspot.com blogs, some of which are listed below.

A Google search for this IP turned up a post in one of your support forums: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=567556

An IP search showed your company as the owner: http://www.schwarzl.com/ipcheck.html?action=query&ip1=58&ip2=65&ip3=232&ip4=169

Hopefully, the box using this IP address has only be compromised with a bot, and not with a malicious user.

If you require any additional information from me, including log file information related to this IP address, please just let me know.  Please note that I would like to be updated as to the resolution of this matter.

Thank you for your time and assistance,

~James
