Has anyone advised them on how utterly ridiculous this is? Just given the
vagaries of the net, what's the odds of any particular piece of email being
lost -- it happens all the time. Especially considering that the first email
bounced back saying "account closed". And just because the server accepted it
doesn't mean he could access it -- many sysadmins initially close accounts by
just changing the passwd.
