If you're going to do that I would suggest a challenge-response system
instead, like TMDA. That way once someone confirms their address they
never go through that process again. There's no password to remember to
include - all they do is respond to the automatic message and they are
whitelisted indefinitely. So far I've never had a spammer bother to
get through TMDA. It's not worth their trouble and my friends haven't
had a problem with it either, though I only use it on my more spam-prone
addresses.
