That's a really bad idea when you consider the fact that the administrative
email address is the ONLY way we have to send a password to a user who has
forgotten it. Certainly you'll agree that this happens on a semi-regular
basis.
Do you really want to have to tell a customer that you can't get his
password for him because he entered "<no email>" for his email address and
you accepted it into the system without complaint or warning?
Garbage In, Garbage Out still applies, and we have an obligation to at least
perform some kind of reasonableness test to the data that's entered into our
systems.
