I just realized that some spam checkers follow the links in the emails automatically:

Does Devise implement any form of protection from this automatic clicks?

It seems that Devise is using a normal GET request to confirm the accounts and this may confirm people that didn't click the link.

Not at the moment, but I have thought about implementing an intermediate step to confirmation and sort of bypass that.
