What a masterful evasion of the issues OP raised.

There is no excuse whatsoever for requiring someone clicking a link in an email you sent them, to verify their address with you (by clicking a link you sent them.) OP is right, you're engaged in dark pattern techniques and you know damn well that you're doing it.

OP: don't give him a pass. Sue him under the CAN-SPAM act.

CAN-SPAM is a toothless show of an act that only punishes the most flagrant "Nigerian prince" spammers and keeps small players in line.

OP has no standing to sue anyone under CAN-SPAM.
