Interesting concept.

I tried it out and got the 'We've sent an email to foo@example.com with a confirmation link.' message. It's been about 5 minutes and I still haven't received the confirmation message. You might want to turn some knobs so that the confirmation emails go through sooner.

Or are the confirmation emails similarly intentionally delayed? :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You are sending a confirmation link to the receiver, but I expected that the sender must confirm the address.

I double checked, and the confirmation links are sent to the sender as you would expect. Please check again and make sure you use the correct fields. If it happens more often, I'll consider swapping the fields, even though this order seems to make most sense looking at several email clients.

You are right. I expected the other order and I didn't read the text. (There are only like only 10 words in the page, and I didn't read them :)!)

I just looked at GMail, and it uses From/To/Subject . You don't have subject!

Also the page does not understand:

  "Joe Doe"
but I don't think it's 100% necessary, don't rush to implement it.

Haha no the confirmation mails are sent straight away ;)

"tardamail.com is too new, temporarily blacklisted" is what I see in the mail-logs.

Seems like something I can't do much about at the moment, and should correct itself in a while. It seems to get past most spam-filters though.

I'll consider implementing an email-confirmation backup, thanks!

I'm loath to mention this, but although I assume the use of "tard" in the name is to signify delay, some might be sensitive to that term.

some people are always offended. no matter what. i think its a funny wordplay.

but seriously. if OP wants to already prevent sjw outcry: change the name

You might find this useful:

Especially the part about "Rule of Thumb for Running Mail Server on a New IP Address

When you run a mail server on a new IP address, you should not use this IP address to send newsletters (aka marketing emails) right away. Instead, you should use this IP address to send transactional emails for a period of time to improve the reputation.

You may also want to use SMTP relay to send emails for a few days because SMTP relay services have a high IP reputation. After that, send emails directly to the familiar recipients."
