    Hello!

    A friend and I are putting up a MOO and I was hoping to extract from some
    of the infinite wisdom here on the list for some assistance.  I've
    grep'ed through the Mb's of MOO-Cows archives throughout the past years but
    can't find any similar instance - maybe I'm overlooking something...

    (1)  When I compiled the LambdaMOO kernel (1.7.9.p2) I purposely disabled
    the outbound connections in options.h as the comments suggested it would
    create a severe security leak.  Just how apparent is this and what is it
    limited to?

    (2)  From reading the FAQ I've found that I do need to enable outbound
    connections to enable E-Mail to be sent to player requesters.  Does this
    interface automatically with sendmail or are there other configurations
    which need to be considered?  (running Linux 1.2.8)

    (3)  Also, is there a fix which enables remote host name lookups?  Even
    requesting a character to be created from within the same machine and
    domain, the MOO kernel reports that the host name cannot be resolved.

    Thanks for your help!  (I'm sure I'll have more questions to follow -
    forgive the MOObie.
