The reason that a Synchronet BBS "guest" login asks for the user's email
address is so that if/when the guest sends an email (e.g. feedback to the
sysop), the reply-to address will point to the Guest's actual email address.
Otherwise, there would be no method to reply to the guest's comments or
questions.

And of course, all of this is completely configurable and disable-able.
Another option would be to just disallow guest users to send any email
messages at all.
