They run a POP and (possibly IMAP) daemon that always has a single message 
with the instructions.  It only works if you try to check you mail with a POP 
or IMAP client (not webmail).

It would be quite possible to write such a thing as a wifidog gateway module, 
we even discussed it at one point.  But no one is working on it or (as far as 
I know) planning to work on it.
