I recently put spam arrest in because my existing email addresses are so jammed up with shit that they were becoming unusable.
You can pre-load and preauth everyone in your current address book, so it isn't a big hassle. You can confirm people in even if they don't confirm themselves, and it is pretty easy to do everything else.
Yes, it is a self-perpetuating sort of semi-spam concept of it's own, but when I go and check the 16 pages of shit that got filtered off today, well, it reminds me why I put it in place.
I think it would be important for any program - any system - to look at the whole deal and make handling the technology that people are using as an important part of the game.
Perhaps the processors should filter off these confirmation mails and send them to a real person to process and get the stuff through? Keeping chargeback ratios in line is in their best interest as well.
