There isn't a way around the email confirmation, someone clicks the link and the bot goes to work. The only way they might get around it is if your permissions aren't setup right.

They have bots running on their email inbox, that will automatically follow the confirmation link.

I know there is no spam mod on here and other things. But not everything is going to install it :o

There is no way you can prevent bots from reading out emails.
