I think this has been requested by some list users in the past, but it's
not that big of a deal. All it does is secure someone from blowing their
foot off on accident. Of course, with the behavior as default, them being
put on antispam lists might be a worse "long term" effect, as it's hard to
get off some of the lists to a newbie.

Oh well, i guess it's punishment for not reading the docs properly....
