Being able to Direct Add new members saves me from the world of pain that is sending invites and then chasing up those who don't respond.?
It's speculated that Direct Add is a leading source of spam trap addresses finding their way into accounts. Most problems stem from typos that will land in Bounced status eventually. But some of them do not, and that's why we had to do reverification.?

In that context, I once suggested that Direct Added people [who don't already have a account] like everyone else. Forget reverification, how about doing initial verification? What a concept...

I knew the notion wouldn't be popular, and it wasn't.?

I don't believe responding to a confirmation email is all that onerous. But if so many folks are unable to do it with an invitation (the OP's point), perhaps I am mistaken. We'll probably have to land in the Spamhaus doghouse a few more times before the tide turns. This is one situation where I hope I'm not vindicated.
