Getting spammed trough Cloudflare domain contact form

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

The same sender keeps sending me messages troug the Cloudflare domain contact function. Around 5 messages from same user every day.

Is there any way to report abuse to Cloudflare regarding this or to block the sender email at Cloudflare ?

If I filter that email trough my email inbox, then I might block relevant messages coming from my host too, because this user fills contact forms, DMCA forms, all possible methods, but I want to still receive any messages from my host regarding this, because regardless if claim is valid or not, most hosts would disable server if I do not reply to a “complaint”.

Regarding a hosting company disabling your server if you do not reply to a complaint… your hosting company would be unaware of anything sent to you through Cloudflare’s domain contact form. Someone would have to send the complaint directly to your hosting company, then your hosting company would have to notify you of the complaint.

Also, Cloudflare displays a message whenever someone sends a message through the domain contact form that says the owner of the domain has no obligation to reply to the message.

It would be nice though if Cloudflare sent a confirmation email to the sender email address used in the form, and only forwarded the message if the confirmation email was responded to. But that might open another can of worms, with email bombers using the confirmation function to harass people.
