If you go to http:// 203.135.21.45/ that should show any website at this ip address. however i got an access denied message when i atetmpted this.

Alternatively do a dns lookup and see who owns the ip address. you could even consider blocking this address is they are causing you serious problems, although this will probably only solve the problem for a short amount of time

well what else can i say, there is no magic way to see what the guy has on his server. if he's blocked it he's blocked it

The ip could be an ISP rather than a website.
The ip also appears to be blacklisted, so if you had rbl set up on your server where your website is, then these emails would never arrive.

Run tracert in DOS on your machine as see where the IP ends up. It would normally give you the hosting company or ISP's name.

If you use the that tool and make a reverse DNS (Domain Name Server) lookup, you get the following result:

Location: Pakistan (high) [City: Multan, Punjab]

.................................................. .

Details:
ns3.apnic.net. (an authoritative nameserver for 203.in-addr.arpa., which is in charge of the reverse DNS for 203.135.21.45)
says that there are no PTR records for 203.135.21.45.

To get reverse DNS set up for 203.135.21.45, you need to speak to your Internet provider. You could also
check with read-TXT-record-of-zone-first-dns-admin@apnic.net., who is in charge of the 203.in-addr.arpa. zone.

Note that all Internet accessible hosts are expected to have a reverse DNS entry (per RFC1912 2.1),
and many mailservers (such as AOL) will likely block E-mail from mailservers with no reverse DNS entry.
To see the reverse DNS traversal, to make sure that all DNS servers are reporting the correct results, you can Click Here.

Tracert also ends up in Pakistan: at the following address:

paknet-II.mu178d1.pie.net.pk (IP: 202.125.139.66)

My coloring of text above.

You find additional tracerouter tools etc on the security sub page of MultiFinanceIT. Also scan the "links" page for more information.
