Wayne, what do you mean in "locking down?"

Although I use @yahoo.com & @hotmail.com for nearly all public emailing, I know exactly what you're talking about. We have tons of returned email from these services with a range of problems. But usually "no account found" or "over quota" messages.

I've considered making a hack to move those users back into awaiting confirmation but that could knock my mods out. And I'd like to take care of them as well.

It would be nice to create something like the ezmlm probe (retries over time) and prehaps restrict those account to no emails unless they confirm again. But this would be separate from the user groups.

Anyone, please post your thoughts. I've been pondering this for sometime now. I don't want to ban them all. They're are not totally unreliable. If they were, I couldn't do squat.
