Sorry for the delay -- been rather busy trying to move.

That page was created a LONG time ago.

What I do is I have email notifications turned on for new posts --  
and I have the emails include the IP.  I don't like the mouse-over IP  
idea because I like my visitors able to post "anonymously" to the  
public.  I don't want hackers, for example, able to find someone's IP  
address.

Here's my entry in (farm)config.php

$EnableMailPosts=1;                   # to enable mailposts
$MailPostsTo="crisses@********.org";  # where to send mail
$MailPostsDelay=1800;                 # wait 30+ min after initial post
$MailPostsSquelch=7200;               # require 2+ hours between mails
$MailPostsFrom = 'Wiki server <wiki@******.***>';
$ipaddress = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$MailPostsItemFmt = " * \$PageName . . . \$PostTime by \$Author 
\n . . . $ipaddre
ss    \$PageUrl?action=diff";
$MailPostsSubject="New $WikiTitle posts";


So that every wiki emails me as "Wiki server" but puts the title of  
the wiki in the subject line, and the emails have the IP address of  
the poster in them.

I combine this with the blocklist2 mailing feature explained on the  
Cookbook page, so I get IPs for both people who successfully post,  
and people who get blocked.
