What about the email system that has been discussed already?

On the first run only:

HostA emails root, root forwards that to rpt@bsdstats.org, 
rpt@bsdstats.org sends back text to be added to /var/db/bsdstats ...

Subsequent runs use the information in /var/db/bsdstats, emails the repot 
itself to root who then forwards *that* to rpt@bsdstats.org ...

We're also going to be working on AUTH Proxy, for those that need that ...

As Antony stated, we no longer store IP/hostname, but the reporting does 
require the information to get back into /var/db/bsdstats to be used for 
reporting, so the "non-fetch version" would defintely be a bit more 
involved for the admin ...
