Cept unless the MediaWiki install has a local hosts modification or is running
in an intranet with custom hosts there's no way MediaWiki can send to that
address.

It would probably be useful to validate the tlds used in e-mail addresses to
ensure the domain in the e-mail is valid for use. Of course with a config
option to disable it for intranets and whatnot.

Mozilla's Public Suffix List project would be useful for this:
