Contact Management - Send Confirmation E-mail Currently, an e-mail to confirm a contact's e-mail address is automatically sent the first time a new listing matches the contact's search criteria. As of December 14, agents will be able use the Contact Management page to manually send a Confirm E-mail link to contacts before the automatic confirmation e-mail is sent.
