I've confirmed that removing the tick from 'validate_email' in the site properties has no effect on the users that have appeared in the plone site by way of the user table from the RDBMS (i.e. the one referenced in the SQLPASPlugin). My specific question is as follows: is it possible to have an existing sql table of users and then point the sqlpasplugin at it and *particularly* have it import the user properties?
