   The reason that a Synchronet BBS "guest" login asks for the user's email   
   address is so that if/when the guest sends an email (e.g. feedback to the   
   sysop), the reply-to address will point to the Guest's actual email address.   
   Otherwise, there would be no method to reply to the guest's comments or   
   questions.   
      
   And of course, all of this is completely configurable and disable-able.   
   Another option would be to just disallow guest users to send any email   
   messages at all.
