#13415: Every time I interact with trac for the first time, it claims my email is a

 This is the third annoyance I've found when dealing with your issue
 tracker.

 *EVERY* time I try to comment on an issue when using your tracker in a new
 web browser, on a new machine, or on a machine that hasn't been connected
 to trac in some time, it *INSISTS* that my email is flagged as "a source
 of spam" and that I have to verify myself through a captcha.

 You give me no recourse to dispute the assertion that my email is one of a
 spammer, so I'm left permanently accused of guilt with no way to prove my
 innocence.

 I've had my email address for over 25 years. In the early days of spam,
 they would take other people's legitimate email address and forge spam in
 their name by using someone else's address as the From: field. This may
 be how my email address ended up on someone's "spam" list.

 Yet only boost's ancient trac issue tracker is having a hard time with
 this. I can report issues on github all day long and have no such
 problems.

 Having an annoying bug tracker is detrimental to building a useful
 community. It makes me want to just not bother reporting issues against
 boost libraries and use something else.
