Easy enough:  if you receive a confirmation request identifying the message 
far enough for you to decide that it was spam with your email address as 
sender address forged in, confirm it.  Else, delete it or forward it to the 
abuse desk of where it came from (much good that that will do...)

For some time, I received several dozens of confirmation requests because my 
email address was used as sender of some spam.  I had some satisfaction in 
knowing that all this spam was properly confirmed and forwarded to their 
proper recipients...
