You might get away without validating email addresses for a small
site, one where you can easily bulk-delete bounced messages. For a
large site you're creating a ton of extra work for someone, all
because you can't be bothered to write a simple regex.

I couldn't imagine paying a marketing company for new users and not at
least doing a simple regex validation on the email address as they
arrive. You guys are really in-experienced.
