Validation uses regexp to confirm the address is formatted correctly.

        if (!ereg("^.+ at .+\\..+$", $field_val)) {
          $this->errMsg ("E-Mail address $field_val does not appear to be 
valid", "Use the back button on your browser to correct it");
        }

I don't think it's finger, I don't recall, but you can actually query an email 
address to ask the host if it's valid. That would be step two. As I said this 
eliminates all but willfull fraud. You can also record their IP address 
too. ;-)
