No I did not misunderstand anything. The people who run such stupid filters misunderstand the way the Internet works. If you have to send an extra confirmation message every time you send an email to someone you haven't communicated with before then it will increase the number of messages required by at least 50%. That is an unreasonable burden to place on other people. The only reason why more people don't complain about this foolishness is because there aren't many people stupid enough to want to do it.
