I dont understend why i cant do that yet. the style of type like that /ignore !@my128-host.com, !@128.0.29.2

The host is a string and no meaning is attached to it. Comparisons are string based. It's not practical to perform a lookup on every host you see, not that it should be done even if it were.

To ignore a line you need to have the information you're basing that decision on at the time you receive the message. You can't wait to resolve the IP address of every user to decide if you display a message or not. And you shouldn't be resolving hundreds of IPs anyway.
