# get $USERNAME from esmith::config - put there by the
# email-update-user action as a temporary variable
die 'Username argument missing.' unless defined ($USERNAME);

my $type = db_get_type(%accounts, $USERNAME);

die
'Account $USERNAME is not a user account; '
. 'update email forwarding failed.
'
unless $type eq 'user';
