How public is public?  People who identify themselves to you at WellyLUG
meetings?  People who type an email address into an HTML form?

The problem I've seen happen with lots of "public shell boxes" is
massive abuse -- and if you're hosting it in NZ, then you'll (probably)
have to worry about network traffic charges, too.
