You don`t have to do that. He has to crash his request himself at
the Host of the net where he wants to become a node.

Then why are you in the nodelist? You should be a point, if other
nodes can`t send you crashmails, you don`t need a public node number.

No it`s like having a postbox infront of your house where anyone
can put mail in, instead of a locked box where only the postman and
you have a key.
