[IRCServices] Email forwarding

I think that the possible issues here would be rather easy to overcome with
some carefully setup piping of bounced mails to /dev/null and the limiting
of the number of sendpasses per hour. But then again, if you're going to do
it properly, this method is not worth it.

I know there were some major problems with one of SA's major ISP's on
Saturday. If you happened to get a route through them to the box then you
would not have been able to access it.
