   • To prevent malicious users from attacking subscription endpoints, SMN limits the number of confirmation messages that can be sent to an endpoint within a specified period of time. For details, see Traffic Control over Subscription Confirmation.
   • SMN does not check whether subscription endpoints exist when you add subscriptions. However, subscribers will not receive notification messages until they confirm their subscriptions.
   • After you add a subscription, SMN sends a confirmation message to the subscription endpoint. The message contains a link for confirming the subscription. The subscription confirmation link is valid within 48 hours. Confirm the subscription on your mobile phone, mailbox, or other endpoints in time.
