Its a spam prevention attempt. The idea is it sends you a link you need to go
to in order to confirm you aren't a bot. Which won't stop bots on real email
addresses, but would stop one forging their from header. It looks like it
automatically whitelists you if you click the link. Not the stupidest
anti-spam I've seen, since most do fake the from. Won't stop many scams
though, and it would be hell on mailing lists and opt-ins.
