  43 &gt;<i> I think putting the mailing job on services is not a very good idea, my idea
  44 </I>&gt;<i> is services should dump the data for the mails on a temp file, and then a
  45 </I>&gt;<i> script that would be on cron, would use thid temp file, send the mails and
  46 </I>&gt;<i> clean the file :), a 10mins interval cron with be a good service.
  47 </I>&gt;<i>

  49 Good in theory, however the problem I see is that users will have to wait
  50 that 10 minutes to finish registering their nick and/or any channels that
  51 are wanted registered as well. I was using IRCu and CService style bot and I
  52 found that our biggest complaint was that users didn't like that it involved
  53 such a long process, personally I see nothing wrong with requiring a few
  54 supporters, however I still got complaints. Users wanted instant results, so
  55 I removed the UnderNet style bots and daemon that I like so well and
  56 switched to DALnet's daemon and ircservices. The complaints have stopped. In
  57 short adding a 10 minute cron job may not be the answer.
  58
  59 Another thing is that when I was an oper on DALnet, services would back
  60 themselves up. When this is in process services was very hard to work with,
  61 because the box services is on was running at a high CPU. IF this mail cron
  62 job gets too big in that 10 minute span, you may see the same results.
