 A quick proposal for the changes made to the !NotificationApi would be:
 
-- send_verification_email(email_address)
- - sends a verification email to the specified address
+- can_verify()
+ - callers must first check this whether email_address_verification is enabled. if it is not they must refrain from calling any of the methods below
 - is_valid_email_address(email_address)
  - this would initiate a first lookup of the email address, using an SMTP protocol implementation which can be used by callers to pre-validate the address
    prior sending the verification email
+- send_verification_email(email_address)
+ - sends a verification email to the specified address
 - in both cases, the notification subsystem will lookup the email hash in the database prior to connecting to the remote or local system
  - it will also lookup the hash for the email address and also will look for whether it was invalidated before, e.g. keys in current user's session

    email address.
 
+- email verification should be made configurable in the TracIni [notification] section, for example using a key enable_address_verification = True|False
