While it might be more 'attractive' to offer a simple 'click to
confirm', why are you not using the more standard 'Please Reply To' this
message if you want to receive these messages?
This would solve the problem being discussed, and ensure that the
recipient truly wants your message.
Both methods have the potential of triggering false positives due to
automated processes.
HTML "Click-to-confirm" has been shown in the recent discussion to be
subject to false positives by email scanning software that follows links.
"Please reply-to" has a similar problem with out-of-office vacation
autoresponders that copy all or part of the message in the response, as
well as some NDRs that do the same. Reply-to also potentially breaks if
the recipient automatically forwards mail from one account to another as
the reply will come from a different address than the subscription.
CAPTCHA could potentially fix it, but that is sure to raise objections
as being too inconvenient for list operators playing the numbers game.
