--- Comment #2 from David Cook <dcook at prosentient.com.au> ---
There's no simple way to test the existence of an email address before actually
trying to send an email.

There are whole software systems that combine a number of different methods to
try to guess if an email address is valid, but even then it's essentially an
educated guess. 

So I don't think that aspect would be something included in Koha.

However, perhaps there could be a better way of falling back to another method
if one fails. 

Also, Koha could include an "email_verified" column. Many systems will ask you
to verify your email. That could be a worthwhile addition to Koha for sure.
