I'm assuming that the account does not exist on the server until the
user actually connects for the first time.  So I would expect the
server to discard the request.

A nice feature might be to send the new contact email in this case
letting them know that "raeburn at mit.edu has tried to add you as a
buddy" with instructions on how to use the service?  But you might
want to restrict this to requests from other mit.edu users.
