Thom, Do you mean that you want to get the persons email address based around what ISP they are logged in from? If so that could never work - as an example you can get a BT broadband account here in the UK which does not have email facilities at all. As an example I'm online via BT but I use my infolinkelectronics email for pretty much everything online, no software you have or could write could make a connection between the two accounts, either via name or IP so I would be rejected on your form. There is no way you can get info like that from the header info that a browser provides either otherwise spammers would have been exploiting it mercilessly by now! You said it was for a feedback script - what are you actually trying to make it do, in what context? If it is so important then make people register, that way via a dual hit authentification you know that the email address they supplied is a valid one. If it is something sensitive then maybe consider a system where the feedback post has to be approved by an administrator / moderator before it is visble on the site.
