| No, but at least you can at least easily spot "", "localhost" and
| "administrator@localhost" as bad alternatives.
yes, and the ones where people stick "@" characters into the
DNS formatted string (producing "user@host"@domain type e-mail addresses...)
The two problems I'd particularly like to avoid are the valid looking
e-mail address that simply forwards to what appears to be a black hole
(some ISPs collecting huge collections of mail no-one ever reads, or
at least, never responds to).
And worse, the very valid looking "user.registered.dom.ain" where
"registered.dom.ain" has an MX record that points to the ISP's e-mail
server, and everything looks well configured.
Until you try and send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and get back
a bounce message "Relaying for that host denied"...
