Not only to check the syntax validity but also to check if this mail is a real mail (ie when you send an email to it someone receives your message) So, someone knows how to, given an e-mail adress, check it. At least, do you know how to go from the email adress to the mail-server ? (after that a vrfy command sent to the server could help).
