I realize that some sites may be managed in such a way that enforcing such a procedure is difficult or cumbersome. Here, we use a highly automated user account management system, and I am seriously considering the addition of such code. This has the advantage that bogus users used to implement mailing-list catchers and suchlike, don't get zapped by accident.
