If it's sending email, then it's outside the purview of RADIUS, methinks.
And time-of-logon would be an inappropriate time to do it anyway, which is
when radiusd is checking it.
I think the difference in POV here is that RADIUS is not supposed to be
the whole complete user registration/expiration mechanism. It's just one
tool, one piece of the picture. It's the piece that handles the "this guy
can log on now; that guy can't" function. You still need the rest of the
system, which is going to have to vary for different companies in
different environments.
