If you have access to the server you could look in the users table in 
the #membership table in the manilawebsites root for that site and 
see if a table for that email address is there.  If it is delete it 
and let them join again.  Also is it possible that the user has been 
blocked (there is an interface for that on the admin page)  Try 
entering the email address in the unblock a member box and see, I 
have had users block a member rather then delete them.

Also proxies can cause a lot of strange behavior when they are 
misconfigured (a common occurence for us in our district.)
