Actually it does do DNS checking. It doens't yet check to make sure that 
the mail will work, but it could easily be added.

Or you could always use the PEAR package:
http://pear.php.net/package/Validate


That package only does textual validation of the e-mail address. It does 
not check against the DNS nor tries to ask the end SMTP server if it 
would accept e-mail to the specified address, like this does:
