Does Synchronet record the incoming IP addresses by themself in a log? I'm asking because I would like to be able to take a count of how many incoming transmissions I receive from each IP address, but the logs I found on the control panel carry more info than just the IP addresses which makes it tricky to sort out what I need quickly.

Thanks.

Use tools like 'grep' or 'wc':
$ sudo grep -c connection.*from.*160\.2\.36\.125 /var/log/sbbs.log
