In addition, that confirmatory mail can name the IP address of the
browser entrant of the email address which you have mailed the
confirmation item.  The datestamp as well if you like.  That way if
someone is going around causing trouble by entering bogus or spamtrap
information, they may get nabbed by the person bogus subscribed
notifying the provider for the IP address.

Ratting out the bogus subscribers to mailing lists is a good thing;  and
you can facilitate it by including the IP address of the browser
entering the wannabe subscriber address into your initiating webform.
