This is off of the subject and there are better places to discuss
Majordomo, but I will point out that Majordomo 1.94, which is very close to
release now, does this. I've been using such a feature for over a year now.
I believe that confirmed subscriptions will go a _long_ way towards solving
many of the problems we have with web-based subscription forms and forged
subscriptions and possibly even stop some of the spamming. Confirmation is
definitely a must as the ultimate address validator, though building some
checks into the subscription front end can help avoid some confusion.
