This is all really rather simple. You sent an email to the silver mailing list. The list sent the email to all the members. He is a member and thus received your email. Not knowing if it was spam or not it sent a message back to you to validate that you are not spaming him. The message has the same title as the message that you sent to the list.
It has nothing to do with any address book. It was triggered by you sending a message to the list. We all have gotten the same thing when we have sent messages to the list. I simply validated so I would not get any more validation requests every time I send a message to the list. The spamarrest should allow him to tell it that anything forwarded from the silver list is ok though. If not it is not working correctly as far as I am concerned. It is rather absurd to require validation of every single member of the list instead of simply the list itself.
