  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>1. a reject mail feature, allowing services admins to give a wildcard
  35 </I>&gt;<i>list of forbidden email addresses.
  36 </I>
  37      I am considering something like this for the future, but as I've said
  38 before I won't add any more features to 5.0 at this point.  Also, this
  39 would have no practical effect on bounces, since the attacker could just
  40 use arbitrary (nonexistent) domain names.  (There was a related suggestion
  41 to do an MX lookup on the domain names used, but that would require
  42 significant work to implement and is likewise not a candidate for inclusion
  43 in 5.0.)
  44
  45 &gt;<i>2. a noreg feature for channels, allowing admins set a noreg flag for
  46 </I>&gt;<i>certain channels.
  47 </I>
  48      Just register such channels yourself and set NOEXPIRE on them.
  49
  50 &gt;<i>E.g. #*help*,
  51 </I>
  52      I don't see a need to use wildcards--if someone creates a channel you
  53 don't want around, shut it down yourself or take whatever action is
  54 appropriate for your network.
