Cannot reuse previously deleted email address

The emails used for the client during signup are never deleted completely. They get 'marked' deleted and kept for a few reasons. One being so spammers can not reuse the email to create new accounts. Another is so that you have a record of all the clients you have had on your server.

Sentora does this with many other things too. (Marks them as deleted instead of full delete.)

If, like me, you do a lot of testing and things, I made a module that allows you to clean out this saved information.

It's called the 'Deleted Records Manager'. Install that and you can delete testing records or accounts as needed.

[MODULE] Deleted Records Manager [ALL-OS]

I get marking them as deleted for historical records, but not sure why it prevents the email address being used again by design. If you have a customer who leaves (and you close/delete their account) and then comes back, you want to be able to create them a new account. Can't see how this would prevent spam - am I missing something?
