We do have email validation on! What I turned off was a mod that was supposed to check the validity of an email address before the registration was accepted. The desire was to catch badly formed emails, obvious typos and such. It didn't seem to work anyway so we turned that off.

We do still have email validation. That's what most of this hack catches as the daemons.
