I'm going to revise this, because I just got the confirmation
email. People should not click on the link.
The link that it wants me to click on is
http://www.tgpwizards.com/spamcease2/verify.php?id=3800307http://www.tgpwizards.com/spamcease2/verify.php?id=[xxx]
A quick check of the domain - http://www.tgpwizards.com - leads me to
believe something else is happening that ain't so legit.
This should be forwarded to the list admin...

Spamcease is whitelist software for controlling Spam. It maintains a list
of people from whom the recipient wishes to receive email. If you're not
on the list, your email won't get through.
It's called a challenge/response system.
For each email sent to someone running spamcease, the server automatically
issues a challenge email back to the sender to prove that s/he is a
person and not a spambot. The original sender clicks on the link in
response (something a spambot can't do), and your email address is added
to the list of people whose email gets through.
They are a pain in the tuchus for listservs and the like, unless the
person running the program sets the parameters correctly to allow email
addressed to the list to get through, otherwise, each person on the list
has to go through the challenge and response procedure.

It is bogus. If you notice, your emails still go to the list. Someone
did this to php-general a bit ago. You can ignore it. There was
speculation that it was an email harvester, checking to verify that
return addresses are valid.

would be nice
to get a confirmation from the list admin.
