What I'm asking you for, is to tell me if it is possible to use IRC
daemon for sending out spam ? I do not know much about configuring IRC
daemon so there might be some settings that I left default=unsecure .

Are you running an IRC services package? If so, you might want to check to
see if the software is sending out verification e-mails for newly registered
nicknames.
