  >This feels like a discussion for backend implementations/email forwarders, not for email signups... And yet I've worked multiple places where product people asked for "simple email validation" on user signup. If they insist, I ask them to provide some actual test cases that they care about. Sometimes the product folks can be convinced to drop the validation requirement if they can be shown that anyone who can't sign up because their email address doesn't validate will simply move on and not sign up. In the case where your product is B2B and all the employees of your customers are users (say an HR product), then the first time a VIP at an important customer complains, that's usually enough to convince your stakeholders to disable the email validation.
