Sorry, you're correct. What I meant to say was that it doesn't override access to PM permissions. And for the reasons stated above, I wouldn't want to give non-activated members access to the PM system.

The fact that EZ Bounce sends that PM is actually a bit annoying. If the member's registration email address is invalid, and the member is close to the limit for stored PMs or has PM email notification turned on, EZ Bounce generates 2 or 3 bounced emails instead of just the original. It's a little like the problem of autoreplies, where you get emails bouncing all over accomplishing nothing useful.
