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? :)

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!

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."
