Getting round the problem whereby Drupal will not allow more than one account with the same email address

Accounts within a Drupal website must all have unique email addresses, which can sometimes be a problem when potential site users to not have access to email.

If this is causing you a problem, we suggest you use modified versions of your own email address so that each account can have a unique address.
