Description

If using a correct email address (= correct syntax),
but the domain name has no valid DNS entry,
then a given email is validated as valid,
but the destination is still wrong. In some cases
the email should be completely validated.
By adding an additional PHP call to check if
the DNS entry is valid, the validEmail() can
be put in a stricter mode if called explicitly.
