After purchasing a domain (.com, .net, .org), I received an email requesting to verify the email address. Is it spam?
Email address verification after purchasing a domain is mandatory according to ICANN. Ignoring this email may result in the domain being locked.

No. According to ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) directives, each email address used for the first time during the registration of a gTLD domain (.com, .net, .org) must be verified. The received email is sent by the provider and should not be ignored.
If within 14 days of registration the mailbox has not been verified, the domain will be locked and the site activity suspended.
