Hello, I know there's a way you can stop duplicate submissions keyed on email address. But is there anyway to deny multiple submissions based on their IP Address? It seems like it would be simple to do considering the email and the IP are posted to the same log and that's what the script looks for when it's set to delete dups.

yeah, good questions. Yes in a future release that would seem like a good idea to add. Obviously the only problem with that is that most people's IP changes everytime they get online. Seth

Yeah, I had a hacker unencrypt my encrypted page, then start calling the script from a different location submitting a bunch of obscene information with different emails each time; however his IP stayed the same. I'd use the OK_URL feature; however I have wildcard DNS, and I couldn't find a way to only process on a domain that wasnt' restricted to www.domain.com.
