> you just simply design the software so that doesn't happen.

How do you go about doing that? disregard security service clicks based on IP address blacklists, user agent sniffing, etc?

Nope you just use a POST request...
How does a legitimate user clicking on a link inside an email generate a POST request?
It loads a page which then makes a POST request to an API via JS.
Thanks again for all the feedback. Short update: I'm using DELETE now, since it feels a bit more accurate. As a side effect, the page is way more responsive. :)

Have fun sharing secrets. C.
