> It always amazes me why people waste time with regular expressions to try and determine if an email address is valid or not before sending an email
Some of us want to check if a newly entered email address appears valid while we still have the user on our site, so if there is an obvious problem we can get it fixed.
How do you address that with the "just send an email" approach? If the mail bounces, how do I contact the user to tell them to come back to the site and try again?
