It depends what you mean by "valid". You can check for valid syntax on the
fly using isValid("email",email) (CF7 only). At least this will allow you
to get through the whole list without generating an error.
Checking to see if the email box exists on a server somewhere is another
issue and is more tricky to handle - there are solutions out there to handle
that though. I don't think you want to do that on the fly as it's quite
slow.
Mmmm, yogurt.
