Flor,
I did exactly the same thing as you did, once I took note of that woman's email 
address and saw that it was related to some adaptive technology group.  "This 
is a legitimate person," I thought, "and probably a new subscriber to this list 
whose ISP's aemail server is receiving its very first messages now from the 
subscribers of this list, so the filter is asking to confirm each new address 
so as to protect the new subscriber."  All I had to do was look at that woman's 
email address to tell me that.  I'm not disagreeing with you at all.  But 
people should be reassured by now.  If they have some fear or resentment about 
it, there's nothing you can do sometimes.  Some people just wont' understand an 
explanation, for some reason.  But it's okay.  It's just plain okay.

Since I believe I know who the Cathy in the original message is, I replied to 
the message leaving everything intact.  No more such messages came to me.  No 
more bother.  Perhaps she is away at the moment.  I know of one list on which, 
if the verification requester didn't respond to the list owner's request to put 
their list on a white list, the requester was unsubscribed by the owner.  (A 
'white list' is an allowed list.  A black list is a disallowed list.)  (that 
ffor the benefit of Judith.)

  Hi folks,

  I'm surprised to see that, something like what must be a week after I posted 
a message explaining that this was a common automatic spam protection that is 
not bogus in any way, nor harms anything if you just comply with the 
instruction to reply to the email so that the filter will put your email 
address  on the person's "white" list or Allowed list, people have kept 
discussing it with, judging from the subject lines of some posts, considerable 
anxiety, suspicion and resentment (e.g., the below comment).  Let me repeat 
that what I've just said is all there is to it,it's not a big hassle, not 
difficult to comply with, totally harmless, not aimed at you personally, and 
everybody should just let it go after doing what that message asks.  It is 
nothing to get worried about, or paranoid about, or still confused about.  
Maybe some listers just haven't seen my earlier explanation or other posts that 
must also have explained this issue accurately, but please be reassured that 
it's not anything to keep worrying over as if it were a technical problem or an 
accusation against you personally.  And, though I'm not of a very strict mind 
about what's on topic, so long as it's via Jaws that we're looking at 
something, and wondering what to do with it or how to navigate or perform a 
task, this is really not a Jaws issue at all.  Just an ordinary Internet thing. 
 So it would really be nice to just let it go, at this point.  Everything will 
be fine.  Don't worry.

  She can just add this jfw list to her white list, which will permit all 
messages sent to this list to go through, if that is what is desired.

    Why bother, it is she who is at a loss when not getting all the messages.

    I responded to it twice and got another list of incomprehensible list of
    steps I had to go through to become approved.  I unsubscribed from the list
    and when I get confirmation that I'm unsubscribed I'll sign up again.
