After looking over one of the problem mails very carefully, I have to
agree, that's the only way.  (For an "anti spam" effort, this is pretty
amusing actually: it's mail that requests you to click on a supplied
link without providing *any* evidence that this has anything to do with
you.  I'd ordinarily consider such a message as either spam or a
trojan horse/phishing attempt.)
