at present you can type in anything as the email address.
I know it's not going to matter to those who actually want a reply, but it may put some of the idiots of sending crap :cheeky:

No, because:

1) People who want to hide their emails will put in a fake one no matter what.

2) I rather they put in an obviously wrong one, so I don't waste time replying.

3) If they keep spamming you, you have their IP address and DNS server sent to you in their email with this hack, and you can still ban them.
