I can understand email validation for a service like PayPal or Yammer where money or access is truly tied to an email address. But it seems like there are a lot of service that validate email addresses unnecessarily (and could thus improve rates by 100%). If Kicksend only sends documents to email accounts then it would be one of the latter. If it actually makes docs available in an account, then, yes, it would need to verify.
