I agree with that. But I also think that you lose some
subscribers that really do want your ezine by requiring them
to respond to a confirmation email. There are advantages
and disadvantages to both approaches. Requiring confirmations
is obviously the "safer" route.

One thing that helps is to make sure your "thank-you page" (the
page that visitors see after filling out a subscription form on
your site) reminds new subscribers to check their email right
away and respond to the confirmation message.
