in thread Securing mailing scripts

The IP checker would be used to stop automated form submissions in case all it's doing is automatically resubmitting the form for each email.

If the IP has a timestamp inside the "kill zone", the script will quit. This way only one message could be sent every 5 or 10 minutes.

I am aware that REFERER can be spoofed,that's why it's not the only security percaution I'm trying to take.

Thanks for your help!
