[rt-devel] SenderMustExistInExternalDatabase Broken in RT3?

[Jeff Hoover]

OK, I see that the user is being created by CreateUser in 
Interfaces/Email.pm.  Can someone tell me where this gets called from so I 
can see if it is checking $SenderMustExistInExternalDatabase?

Thanks in advance for any help!
