I have this style of e-mail usernames for my sites and where it might be not as tight as possible, I have an implementation that works.

This works well as it stops users from registering with duplicate email addresses. The key next is to make sure no one who has access to add more users directly doesn't add someone with the same e-mail address. If this is important for you what I would recommend is pulling contrib.auth out of the django package into your project and customize it. Contrib apps are just that, apps. Just make sure all your settings.py paths point to the new one. You can add a few lines of code to the add_view of auth straight from django-registration to make sure e-mail is unique. Once you do that you should have unique e-mails all around and you didn't need to touch the django package, just use a chunk of code. > > <http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/8712e5bc0fc84483/12e9b40eee24bff1> > > 2) Generate usernames automatically, since they're not really used > anymore but can't stay blank.

I extended a django-registration class to accomplish this. I just put it up on djangosnippets.org.
