Actually, many ISP have spam software (I have worked for two major ones maintaining their network).

Your Registration Problem forum is an excellent way to deal with problems. However, I will analyze this from the user perspective:

1. Ok. I registered and I am supposed to receive a message.
2. I looked at my inbox and I do not see an email.
3. Hmm. Maybe my email server is slow; or maybe is their email server the one that is slow. I'll just come back to it later when I get the email. So, I close my browser
4. Later, two things could happen:

I come back and check my email and do not see anything. Now I do not remember the site name that I went and I am unable to find it again. Oh Well!

Or, since I did not see a reminder email, I forgot that I was waiting for one at all.

Which this brings the need of an excellent hack. A reminder system so after certain amount of time of unconfirmed emails, the system sends a reminder. However, as far as I know, the system does not save this information anywhere, which means that additions to the database will be needed. But I still think that a message reminding the user about the SPAM folder will help a lot.
