Good points. I'm so used to Perl doing what I tell it to do that I wasn't
thinking about that. =;) So what about just checking the MX record for a
domain? Let's say someone entered x...@yagoo.com instead of x...@yahoo.com.
Is that catchable or would there be problems with that as well?

It is the same. The program may think that the host yagoo.com is a valid
host and that email address is a valid one.
You may verify if a certain host can be found, but if you won't find it, it
doesn't mean that it really doesn't exist, because it may be down
temporarily or for other reasons...
