I think with "squelches the message" replaced with "bypasses the check", it would probably be a good idea. It may be that a reasonable behaviour would be to check for any "sendemail.*" and die, like your version does, by default, an optional opt-out configuration variable (sendemail.forbidSendmailVariables) to disable the check entirely, and then add a hint that mentions the variable to the "die" message in your patch.
