Right now, messages sent to confirm one's email address don't expire.

They should expire in 24 or 48 hours:

- enforced in the verification code
- old unconfirmed email addresses should be removed on cron
- email messages sent out should have some expiry headers to inform mail clients

The expiry headers are listed here:
