[MKDoc-dev] Use of Mail::CheckUser in the account registration process

I've just been hit by this, the current version of Mail::CheckUser 
fails tests on a server I was working-on yesterday.  I installed it 
anyway, but MKDoc was rejecting addresses consistently.

Though I ought to try and find the bug in Mail::CheckUser, I 
ended-up patching that instance of MKDoc as a workaround:
