No, I understood your point and I agree sending the email and getting some type of read receipt is necessary.

You seem to think that because of this client validation should be skipped. On that point I disagree. If you can tell that it's not a valid email address (bigtunacan@goog obviously invalid since missing a TLD) then no email should be sent. Good UX is to let the customer/user know there is a mistake in the email address.
