Comment (by knutsp):

 Not being able to send email is an edge condition, making trouble from the

 Some sort of whitelisting via email, yes. Some sort of a hard protecting
 using email as a way around for legitimate users being locked out by a
 special kind of attack on this protection system itself.

 Now we are talking.
