No, you can try sendpass only for 3 single nicks in one hour.
You will collect 72 per day, 504 per week, etc.
This is just an example to detect how to spam.

You did not understand. He suggests services require the correct 
email, not AN email address.

Again he is right, because notice_lang does not replace %S with
pseudoclient name, but ONLY notice_help. In his case, the text
was to sent with notice_lang, so %S is wrong, %s is right.

It would be adviseable for all of us to read an email twice before
seeing a need to reply to it.
