If your ISP gives you access to this, the IP addresses will be in the log file.
If not, and if you have permission to run cgi programs, you can write a cgi
that will log the IP address.
Email addresses are a different matter. The browser only knows the email
address that the user supplies. If I hit your page, you'll think my email
address is <bogus@bogosity.com>. (That's because I do NOT want sites I hit
to get a hold of my true email address for commercial purposes.)
