I was trying to create test accounts on the new dev server and ran into the rate limit for new accounts -- after submitting the signup page I got a message like "you can't do that right now because there are too many requests from your IP". However, even though the server said the attempt failed, I got email -- but the link in the email did not work, giving a red-box error "Confirmation token is invalid".
The email address was not blocked; after waiting 5 minutes I tried again with the same address and it worked. So the messaging is misleading (we shouldn't send the email) but no real harm done otherwise.
