spam attack from apple.com on my server

Question

spam attack from apple.com on my server

Yesterday and today I have gotten (unsuccessful) spam attacks from IP's from apple.com. How do I report that, or is posting here enough? Or should I just block them and add them to my published black list?

Example :

Transcript of session follows.

FYI: These are user-only forums. You are not speaking to Apple. if you need to speak with Apple Support, then contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service including international calling numbers.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

You can get Apple telephone support to obtain information on who to contact at Apple and how you should contact them using this link https://getsupport.apple.com/caller=kbase&PGF=PGF63005&category_id=SC0245&symptom_id=23362

Thanks both for the replies. I have contacted Apple, and sent the information through. They will be looking into it.

I am so surprised at how well Apple supports customers. (And in this case, technically not really a customer, as I have not bought anything (no job, no money). And my server is CentOS Linux. I do have an iphone 6 I got as a present though.)

I cannot imagine getting such excellent support from ******soft. Or g***le, or any of those guys.
