And if you think that a processor is going to hire people to sort thru every email that comes back to them with a verification request, then you can add 3-4% to the rates you pay them to do so.
This is not an ingenious system that works, this is a system that keeps surfers from accessing things they've paid for unless they are smart enough and aware enough to specifically look in their dump folder for an email from the processor that your site uses.
Get it now?

I see what you mean. But I would think most people would check their unverified folder if they didn't receive an email they expected, after 5 minutes or more. I know I would.
You could also authorize an email address in advance.
I use Spamarrest myself for my business email, and I am very happy with it. I go through all my unverified email on a daily basis and often find messages that had not been verified - almost all of them from people actually.
