Indeed. Actually, I was thinking of keeping a chache of verifications
(kinda like exim does). But I agree it's a bad idea. Worse, it would be a
technological crutch to an administrative problem.

I've already manage to schedule a meeting with them. I'll try to get them
to both, fix their setup and give me their user list. Strongarming might
not even be necesary (hopefuly).

Thanks for your (and Philip Hazel) input.
