== The Whatever@example.com Solution ==


Solution (sort of): Well, you could tell these folks to use a fake email address. Anything at example.com would do: ''qwerty@example.com'', ''123@example.com'', etc. Once or twice each day, you would then go to ''http://yoursite/moodle/admin/user.php'' and confirm the new accounts. This is not a perfect solution, but it will certainly work for you and your users.
