  36 </I>&gt;<i> Huge proxy atacks, or even more DDOS atacks registering 1 nick per hour
  37 </I>&gt;<i> with 500 hosts is quite disturbing. Services is sending out many mails
  38 </I>&gt;<i> (to adresses that do not exist) and we get the bounces. I implemented
  39 </I>
  40 This is something else that worries me with the mail-auth feature. Not so
  41 much as being 'attacked' but also having to deal with users that didn't
  42 understand that they should have used a valid address during registration.
  43 As a result, we probably won't use it when we switch to version 5. I've
  44 currently got a sendpass implementation working via our webpage which
  45 doesn't allow more than 3 sendpass requests per hour (in total, regardless
  46 of host). Plus it notifies the opers (via mail) when the limit is reached
  47 (and by who). The only thing I want to do now is write a monthly cron script
  48 that goes through every email address in our database and verifies that
  49 it's valid (MX lookup, etc.). From the results of this script I can notify
  50 the respective users that do not have a valid address set.. :)
