At first I was all excited that this might be the solution, but now that I've tried it (and done a little reading about it), I'm thinking it <isn't> what I need.
From what I can tell, the IP Security Check module is for whitelisting/blacklisting FormTools <user accounts>, not for policing regular incoming form submissions and disallowing them if they come from a particular IP address (which is what I'm dealing with with this spammer who has somehow figured out a way around the standard hidden "bad_email" form anti-spam functionality).
So, I need a way to look at incoming form submissions, and if one comes from the IP address of the spammer, I need to disallow that submission from being processed. That's why I was thinking the pre-parser thing might be the way to go.
Thoughts?
