Solution: Have the user enter his e-mail address in the web frontend.
Not being able to set up an MTA does not mean being unable to
communicate via e-mail.

Because there are simple bugs that don't need further explaination.
Because your assumption (as I understand it) that using a web frontend
for submission means that the user can't be reached by e-mail is not
true.
