So unless I allow the registration and then wait for the first spam post from the individual, there looks like no way to record an IP?.

I could allow this individual to register and grant him access to the forums then wait for his first post, grab his IP and then ban him and ban the resulting IP I suppose, would that suffice?.
We have recently added a mod which stops any new member from posting any hyperlinks till they complete 5 posts. This is a better solution to stop these spambots as they don't manage to figure out if their post was submitted or not.

See if phpbb has got any similar mod as we've had no such nokia mobile or viagra spam posts from last 2 weeks.
