  34 <PRE>1) In order to sendpass, you have to be using the nick you want to retreive
  35 the password for.  If someone else is online using your nickname, you're
  36 stuck.
  37
  38 2) When you request a sendpass, your email address is shown to you.  This
  39 would typically a good thing,  but this means I can go around and get
  40 anyone's email address and spam away, getting around SET HIDE EMAIL.  I
  41 suggest not showing the address if HIDE EMAIL is set, or either requiring
  42 the user to /ns sendpass &lt;nick&gt; &lt;email&gt;.
  43
  44 3) Not related to sendpass but to AUTH: I am thinking an OS SET switch to
  45 suspend pending AUTH-expirys might be good in case your ISP is having mail
  46 problems. This might only be a problem on larger networks, but then again
  47 they are more likely to have their own mailserver.. *shrug*
  48
  49 Some things to think about.
