Actually at some point I had. I was putting something KISS together...

If I were truly serious about verifying an EMAIL address I would do something like what was mentioned in the perlfaq only with a link to a perl_mod handled URL with a random string as part of the URL. The decyphering of the random URL would map back to their email address through a query of a session table.

Complicated, but effective.
