  34 <PRE>&gt;<i>1) In order to sendpass, you have to be using the nick you want to retreive
  35 </I>&gt;<i>the password for.  If someone else is online using your nickname, you're
  36 </I>&gt;<i>stuck.
  37 </I>&gt;<i>
  38 </I>&gt;<i>2) When you request a sendpass, your email address is shown to you.  This
  39 </I>&gt;<i>would typically a good thing,  but this means I can go around and get
  40 </I>&gt;<i>anyone's email address and spam away, getting around SET HIDE EMAIL.  I
  41 </I>&gt;<i>suggest not showing the address if HIDE EMAIL is set, or either requiring
  42 </I>&gt;<i>the user to /ns sendpass &lt;nick&gt; &lt;email&gt;.
  43 </I>
  44      Both good points, and I'll address them.  Thanks.

  46 &gt;<i>3) Not related to sendpass but to AUTH: I am thinking an OS SET switch to
  47 </I>&gt;<i>suspend pending AUTH-expirys might be good in case your ISP is having mail
  48 </I>&gt;<i>problems. This might only be a problem on larger networks, but then again
  49 </I>&gt;<i>they are more likely to have their own mailserver.. *shrug*
  50 </I>
  51      If this should actually happen, you could always disable NSAuthExpire
  52 (or in the extreme case, run the executable with -noexpire) until things
  53 clear up.
