[support] Users without email addresses?

[Steve Kessler]

A non-Drupal but educational response might be to use the free - student
emails from Gaggle.net
(http://www.gaggle.net/gen?_template=/templates/gaggle/html/index.jsp) - I
used these for students when I worked for Los Angeles Unified School
District. The free version has ads but teachers can monitor traffic and
there is extensive filtering.

> Yeah, that sounds like it should work - <student-id>@foo.com

If I were a hacker, I'd sit at foo.com or nowhere.com, and wait for the 
emails to come rolling in.

For fake emails, always use @example.com:

To keep student emails properly fake, you could also create a stub 
module with hook_form_alter to add a validate method to the user-edit 
forms. That could check that the user was either (a) a teacher or (b) 
their email was of the format firstname.lastname at example.com .
