When someone is not registered, you display the list as a message that
asks to register.

Would it be possible to run your checking script every once in a while,
unregister the malconfigured people, and add them to a list (to be
cleaned on a regular basis too)?

Then, when someone tries to list the ils:
* if the ip is in the list, the message is "Your firewall is
misconfigured: you can't receive calls anyway!";
* if not, the usual "Please register ..." message...
