Could it be filtered to only allow access from 44 net clients....

I suppose, but then how would a ham who needed to contact a coordinator to
obtain a net-44 address get the coordinator's contact information?
I only raised the issue to point out the possibility of exploitation but I may

limited use for spammers, finger was the bigger issue years ago.
