Hi,
No, users can enter any email address when they post a comment, and there's no feature which can be enabled to authenticate it. If the user chooses to subscribe to new comments then there is an authentication (double opt-in) at this stage, but not simply for posting a comment. For what reason do you want this? If it's so that you can collect the email address so that you can later send the person a newsletter then I discourage this process because the person hasn't asked for it and it's not what Commentics was designed for. On the other hand, if it's to confirm that a person's Gravatar is their own then I can sort of understand this but again, it's not possible at this time.
