The serious part: Wording: the proper term is "confirmed opt-in" -- that is, a confirmation step is used in order to make sure that the person claiming that they want to subscribe is the only person authorized to make such claims, i.e., the owner of the email address in play. "double opt-in" is spammer-speak, and it's a nonsense phrase besides: there's nothing being done twice. It was coined by spammers (who have also used "triple opt-in" and even "quadruple opt-in") in order to obfuscate their tactics.
But it's clearer? _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
