It's one of those stupid email verification things to supposedly help 
prevent spam by forcing you to click a link in order for email to get 
through (the idea being that spammers are using automated tools and so 
won't follow the links). Damn annoying in itself and should never EVER 
be used on an email address that is subscribed to a mailing list.

Dean Allen briefly mentions the system he used to use here:
