It's not going to happen today, but I will take a look. It's going to
require quite a significant expansion of the phishing net code, as
currently it just edits the message and doesn't have the ability to pass
any status information back up.

I originally thought about doing this, but didn't as it causes false
positives and I don't want to cry wolf.

Would people like any numeric IP address to be considered a phishing
attack? That one's easy :-)
