Thanks for explaining - I've been too lazy to actually look at the script so this clarifies things a bit.

I think this script probably needs a rewrite or significant revision.

- Permitted netmail types should be configurable and strings validated
- Block logon for unvalidated users should be optional
- On fatal error, should hang up or just exit depending on above setting

Seems like at the moment it has a poor failure mode and was written with a perplexing misunderstanding of newuser restrictions.
