You know, just a suggestion.

Abs.

Thanks for the suggestion - and it's a good one. I do actually have the system in place to use IP, and it's not something im going to rule out. This release is more to test code and suchlike and the reason I chose to do this with email was to target the human spammers that spam for a living. again, good comments though!
