On (not) putting IP addresses in registration email
If you are creating some sort of system that sends email to people inresponse to web-based requests , it is tempting tothink that you should put in the IP address (and the timestamp) that therequest came from, in case your services are abused. In practice this isuseless, for a number of reasons.

A little habit: cat >/dev/null

If you have a choice, you obviously want to be on the latter end of thescale. Ideally you'll have a fairly solid proof that the best softwareimplementation on a general CPU can't possibly be fast enough becauseit requires very
