Lets try something rather radical here...In your /etc/proftpd.conf file,
add the following lines BEFORE the <VirtualHost> directives that are
already there (using the domain you wish to block of course):

<VirtualHost stretchedout.com>
<Limit LOGIN>
DenyAll
</Limit>
</VirtualHost>

Note: These lines MUST BE BEFORE the other directives. If proftpd sees a
matching IP address first, it'll allow the login to continue.
