I protects you from being subscribed when you never asked for it. For one it is easy to fake the sender when sending the subscription request. Also you can send a request to subscribe a different email address by sending to list-subscribe-foo=example.org@host. Thew confirmation step ensures you can actually read messages sent to the subscribed address and you really want to be subscribed - and are not victim of somebody trying to fill your mailbox. Stefan
