OK.

I think with "squelches the message" replaced with "bypasses the
check", it would probably be a good idea.  It may be that a
reasonable behaviour would be to check for any "sendemail.*" and
die, like your version does, by default, an optional opt-out
configuration variable (sendemail.forbidSendmailVariables) to
disable the check entirely, and then add a hint that mentions the
variable to the "die" message in your patch.
