They don't even detect greylisting!

There's just one way: let the users confirm with an activation link.
People often insert their addresses wrong without noticing it..
example: www.myal...@mydomain.org instead of myal...@mydomain.org,
aol.<DE|UK|NL|FR|etc> instead of aol.com and so on.

So ... nothing like "insert your mail twice" or "re-check your address
please" actually works. ;)

On the other hand: Douple-opt-In is quite like an industry standard -
why wouldn't your firm use it? It makes customers happy as well as
"not-customers" because people can't use their addressess to sign-up.
I hate getting other peoples email.
