We tried that for a while. The challenge that we ran into was that at least at
that time the email included links to their reset tools, etc., which didn't
work (obviously) and couldn't be removed. They created lots of confusion for
our users, despite our repeated efforts to explain that the links were not
valid and could and should be ignored. You can probably imagine how well that
went. :)

So I had to check Netwrix out - there's a 100 user limit on the freeware
version. Other than that it looks pretty good.

Agreed. In this regard Netwrix has been better than most, I've been using this
free app for over a year and don't recall getting any calls.
Emails are easy enough to unsubscribe/filter.
