[support] ***DHSPAM*** Automating logins from email notification

[Michael Prasuhn]

Two ideas:

One, look into the Login Ticket API, and Temporary Invitation module,  
to build a login for each user potentially, a custom module that you  
write could then be used to hook the temporary invitation module from  
the notification module, or perhaps from actions/workflow or  
something along those lines.

Two, LoginToboggan module will enable you to put a login form on each  
access denied page, which would definitely remove the question of how  
to log in for the logged out users, as long as they can remember  
their passwords.
