That still doesn't make the "Please verify" messages any more friendly. What if someone forges my email address and sends you a spam. I get a "Please verify" message, but I had nothing to do with the email that was sent, other than being a victim of an email forgery. Now, I also get a nice "Please Verify" message. These systems may have been a ok workaround before, but now that spam is some 94% of email is spam, all it does is increase the amount of "spam", and involve people who may not even be connected with the emails you receive.
Eric PS. I didn't send this directly to you, to avoid having to respond to a verify message.
