Generally, yes, but it is not as valuable when selling names as
"verified" addresses. The address could be forwarded, dumped into a spam
filter, etc.
A verified address is probably worth ten or 100 times that of non
verified addresses to those scumbags who sell lists. I don't track this
kind of information, probably someone else can tell you more about the
value of names to spammers.
Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with your Microsoft product.
