You will be asked to do this only once for this recipient. This doesn't look to me like phishing (although I can see the similarities); it looks like yet another severely clueless site engaged in challenge-response spamming. (C-R has long since been not only completely discredited as an anti-spam tactic, but has been recognized as a spam vector.
