As you know vbulletin doesn't includes the person's who tried to recover password IP number in emails.

For now vbulletin recovery email looks like this:

Dear $user[username],

You have requested to reset your password on $vboptions because you have forgotten your password. If you did not request this, please ignore it. It will expire and become useless in 24 hours time.

To reset your password, please visit the following page:
$vboptions[bburl]/login.php?a=pwd&u=$user[userid]&i=$user[activationid]

When you visit that page, your password will be reset, and the new password will be emailed to you.

Your username is: $user[username]

To edit your profile, go to this page:
$vboptions[bburl]/profile.php?do=editprofile

All the best,
$vboptions[bbtitle]

[b]I want to have vbulletin to send me from which IP address that was requested so I can block those bastards on my server!

Please help. Thank you.

You can search for the phrase lostpw (search for "You have requested to reset your password"), then copy the phrase text to the translation text area at the bottom and add $vbulletin->ipaddress to the message somewhere.

You also might be able to look at your web server logs and see who went to login.php?do=lostpw.

Thank you very much for your help. It works :-)

Now I modified password recovery email to look like this:

Dear $user[username],

You or someone (from IP number $vbulletin->ipaddress) have requested to reset your password on $vboptions[bbtitle] because you have forgotten your password. If you did not request this, please ignore it. It will expire and become useless in 24 hours time.

To reset your password, please visit the following page:
$vboptions[bburl]/login.php?a=pwd&u=$user[userid]&i=$user[activationid]

When you visit that page, your password will be reset, and the new password will be emailed to you.

Your username is: $user[username]

To edit your profile, go to this page:
$vboptions[bburl]/profile.php?do=editprofile

All the best,
$vboptions[bbtitle]
