Currently, the only way to detect if a remote server supports these extended
modes is to remotely query a server's `VERSION` and read out the `005` reply.
### Things added to existing commands
#### Server notice mask broadcasts
Currently the NEEDSASL, DNSBL hit, hunted command flooding and `m_post` rejections
are globally broadcast server notices. They will show up in TS6 lines such as:
<<< :[sid] ENCAP * SNOTE [snomask] :[server name] :[message]
For a more practical example:
<<< :47G ENCAP * SNOTE b :rarity.shadownet.int :Client floodbot (~a@127.0.0.1) is attempting to flood ADMIN
These broadcasts are there for IRC operators on more centrally managed networks
to better see what is going on on other ends of the network without having to hop
servers and check. Bots or pseudoservices may also uses these lines to perform
additional actions (such as `AKILL`s or logging to channels) as needed by the
bot author.
