34 <PRE>&gt;<i>Very late reply but hey...
35 </I>&gt;<i>
36 </I>&gt;<i>IMHO the E-Mail Forwarding feature would seriously ROCK!
37 </I>&gt;<i>Any plans on implementing this?
38 </I>
39 Just a quick note on this--I had this on my TODO list since way long
40 ago, but it turns out it's a pain to implement, mainly because of needing to
41 either fork and keep track of another process or handle SMTP connections
42 using select() in the same process, and having to watch resource consumption
43 in either case. I don't know what Andrew Kempe's priorities are, but just
44 keep in mind that it's not something that can be dashed out on the spur of
45 the moment.

64 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; sending all the memos in one email would be prefered. Also making the
65 </I>&gt;<i>time
66 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; interval a .conf setting would be wise.
67 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt;
68 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; MEMO2MAIL 15 &lt;---- Minutes _after_ update to send mail.
69 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; This type of setting would make it easier for services, the box and the
70 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; box's Admin(s). :)
71 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt;
72 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; MAIL_DELAY 120 &lt;--- delay in seconds between batches.
73 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; This could be used in the case of a large amount of mail sent. The mail
74 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> can
75 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; be broken down into batches sent, say maybe 800k at a time. This way
76 </I>&gt;<i>800k
77 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> is
78 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; sent, then 120 seconds later 800k more and so on.

83 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> You might also wish to add a NickServ option that would allow
84 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> the user to:
85 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>
86 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> 1) Either disable the feature totally
87 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> 2) Have it only send the e-mail when the user is not on
88 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> the IRC Network
89 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> 3) Have memoserv send the e-mail and keep a copy of the message.
90 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> 4) Or, have memoserv just send an e-mail and discard the message
91 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> afterwards. (Mabey not a good idea here in some cases though)
92 </I>&gt;&gt;<i>
93 </I>&gt;&gt;<i> On the whole it sounds like an excellent idea,
