Thanks for the tip.
I followed the link, but it didnt explicitly give an answer to the following question.
For posterity and the list archive's sake:  does it also work for extern auth?
In other words, when it auto-creates an account, will it rewrite the *account name*?  Or will it just get triggered on actual email that comes in?
