I know that I do. I monitor our web site's registration system, and will get a number of
notices from things like Boxbe, stating that they've delayed the email with the confirmation
link that we send our clients, until we confirm receipt of their notice. But, this can be used
against you, as they now know that your address is valid, and can in turn spam you! Can read the
ugly details on Wiki:

I won't subject my company to that nuisance.
