1) It wouldn't be MY hashes: email address != LM hashes

2) They still don't have the user account name: email address != user ID

3) Which system are they from? They don't know: ID + password =
host(x)   |where x is undefined
 
4) Hashes don't need to be valid anymore: <insert witty function about
password over time here>


But I agree, it's probably not a good idea to send these to an untrusted
party. Would make for an interesting project though: What information
(except favorite color and shoe size) could you derive from a password
hash...

Cheers,
