Nope. I actually noticed it when I was testing the password retrieval
feature and decided to see what would happen if the customer that was
requesting the password retrieval had no E-mail addresses/Override E-mail
on file. Try it, you'll see what I'm talking about.

No.. don't create duplicate E-mail addresses. I'm talking about the Login
on the Customer Info page, e.g. their Dial-Up login.

Do you have OG set to auto create the first E-mail addy that matches the
customer's Login name by chance?

See above. It can be exploited, I've tested it several times
now. Granted, it is highly unlikely someone will do so, but my point is
that OG should not be making the assumption it is making when the customer
has no E-mail addresses on file.
