- Any chance this could make its way to the top of people's watchlists or
something, like the voting thing did?
- Any idea whether this will affect the ability of people who don't use
spamcop to get email?

For some lovely reason our new mail server has been blacklisted by
SpamCop,
allegedly for sending mail to spamtrap addresses. (They provide no
details
by policy, of course, so there's no way to verify it.)
Since there's a tiny possibility that the user-to-user email feature actually could be abused, I've gone ahead and enabled the e-mail confirmation requirement
for
using email features. This is a bit annoying for the moment since you have to
do
it separately on each wiki.
I've disputed the listing, so hopefully we'll get it removed soonish and those who aren't getting email will, uh, start getting it again. --Brion 22:42, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
What this means is that everyone will have to go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Confirmemail If you don't, you will not receive Wikipedia email.
