...why? Send an email to confirm that it should send one more email?
- mrkipling 12y ago> ...why? So that if somebody mis-types their address and ends up entering mine, I don't get bombarded with crap that I don't want. It's incredibly annoying when this happens.
- brlewis 12y agoThis service sends one email. Confirmation would just mean you get bombarded with the exact same number of unwanted messages: 1. Confirmation would still be useful, though, to let the actual user realize they entered the wrong address.
- LukeB_UK 12y agoIt sounds as though it actually sends you multiple emails
- daviddoran 12y agoThis is typically so you can't simply subscribe someone else using their email. The 'victim' would only get a single email and they'd have to subscribe to keep receiving them. It also avoids typos etc.
- CyberShadow 12y agoI had the impression that you chose a standard you care about and it is going to send exactly one email. With confirmation, that would become two.
