    # NSRegDelay <time>  [RECOMMENDED]
    #     Sets the minimum length of time between consecutive uses of the
    #     REGISTER command.  If not given, this restriction is disabled.
    #
    #     WARNING: Not setting NSRegDelay, or setting it too low, will not
    #              only allow "registration flooding", but, if the
    #              mail-auth module is also loaded, will also allow users
    #              to abuse this command to send large quantities of mail
    #              (mailbombs) to arbitrary users!

    # NSInitialRegDelay <time>  [OPTIONAL]
    #     Sets the minimum length of time the user must be connected before
    #     using the REGISTER command for the first time.  If not given,
    #     this restriction is disabled.  This option can be helpful in
    #     preventing malicious bots from flooding your network with
    #     registrations.
