It's close, but it won't ALWAYS tell you if in email is "deliverable". Many configurations (some I've used in the past) *accept* mail for any address, and only later, if the delivery mechanism can't/won't deliver it locally, will it get bounced back as 'undeliverable'. But in *some* cases, classes like this work.
