MemoServ

MemoServ is a utility allowing IRC users to send short messages to other IRC users, whether they are online at the time or not, or to channels(*). Both the sender's nickname and the target nickname or channel must be registered in order to send a memo.

Sending a Memo

In order to send or receive memos, you need to have identified to a registered nickname.

• Usage: /msg MemoServ SEND nick/#channel [text]
  • Example: /msg MemoServ SEND Kyle Oh my god, they killed Kenny!

Cancel a memo

Cancelling the last unread memo you sent to a nick or channel:

• Usage: /msg MemoServ CANCEL nick/#channel [text]
  • Example: /msg MemoServ CANCEL Kyle

List Memos

Listing all or only particular memos you have or a given channel has received:

• Usage: /msg MemoServ #channel LIST|NEW
  • Example: /msg MemoServ LIST NEW

Note: new lists only new (unread) memos, list 2-4 lists memos numbered 2 through 4. If neither new nor a list is given, all memos will be listed, unread memos are marked with a * to the left of the memo number.

Read memos

Reading particular memos you or a channel received:

• Usage: /msg MemoServ READ #channel NUM|LIST|LAST|NEW
  • Example: /msg MemoServ READ new

Deleting Memos

Deleting particular memos you or a channel received:

• Usage: /msg MemoServ DEL #channel NUM|LIST|LAST|NEW
  • Example: /msg MemoServ DEL 2

Memo Option Settings

Setting various memo options:

• NOTIFY - Changing when you will be notified about new memos:
  • Usage: /msg MemoServ SET NOTIFY ON|LOGON|NEW|MAIL|NOMAIL|OFF
    • ON: notify you on logon, when you unset /away, and when you receive them
      
    • LOGON: only notify you of memos when you logon and when you unset /away
      
    • NEW: only notify you of new memos
      
    • MAIL: turns ON email notification of new memos, does not change other MemoServ notify settings
    • NOMAIL: turns OFF email notification of new memos, does not change other MemoServ notify settings
    • OFF: turn off all notifications
      
  • Example: /msg MemoServ SET NOTIFY NEW
• LIMIT - Setting the maximum number of memos you or the given channel can receive:
  • Usage: /msg MemoServ SET LIMIT #channel LIMIT
  • Example: /msg MemoServ SET LIMIT 5

Note: You cannot set the limit any higher than 20. Setting it to 0 won't allow anyone to send you a memo.
