Yes, I'd discovered that I couldn't run scrips on things other than
tickets, so was looking at wrapping or extending a user method.

I'd got as far as learning about overlays, and am thinking I want to
use an overlay to rewrite RT::User::LoadOrCreateByEmail, so that I can
refuse creating a user if they're not from a valid domain etc.

So I've created a User_Overlay.pm, that overrides that method but I
can't find any documentation on how to get it to be run instead of the
original. I've put it in /usr/local/share/request-tracker4/lib/, but
not sure where to go from here.

Thanks, Al
