34 <PRE>I got very close to being able to send passwords to an email address. I was
35 not at all keen on having to handle more sockets so I was basically doing
38 - Dumping the password to a file. The file also contained the email address
39 to which to send the email.
40 - Run a cron that basically used
"mail
" to send the mail off.
42 There is a slight overhead in having to write to a file but I didn't think
43 that there would be _that_ many mails being created. Forwarding memo's would
44 up this number of mails a lot. What I had in mind was outputting the memo's
45 to a single file for a specified time, say
1 minute. After that time a new
46 file is started and a cron can then parse up the old file and send the memos
49 These may not be the most elegant solutions, but they're simple to implement
50 and they get the job done.

67 </I>><i> Just a quick note on this--I had this on my TODO list since way long
68 </I>><i> ago, but it turns out it's a pain to implement, mainly because of
69 </I>><i> needing to
70 </I>><i> either fork and keep track of another process or handle SMTP connections
71 </I>><i> using select() in the same process, and having to watch resource
72 </I>><i> consumption
73 </I>><i> in either case. I don't know what Andrew Kempe's priorities are, but just
74 </I>><i> keep in mind that it's not something that can be dashed out on the spur of
75 </I>><i> the moment.
