i dont think a capcha is what they are looking for, rather a way to create a
md5 or something that they can email a link to users to a page such as
confirm.php?validate=MD5-HERE so that they can validate thier email.
Steps to do this
1.) Create the string maybe an MD5 based on the email they choose or
something like that
2.) Store that string to the database somewhere
3.) Email the mail to the address specified with the url to the confirm page
3.) The user will check thier email and click the link to your confirm page,
this will confirm that they did in fact check thier email.
4.) Mark the user as confirmed.
