?!Do you mean the email address?

You validate it. Try using a RegEx.

Your question is unclear - do you mean the email address, or the content of the email itself?
In either case, there are RFCs that describe the correct format for content.

Well no, it's not any more clear. We cannot possibly tell you how every admin in the world decides if an email address is valid or not. The best answer that you will get is the ones that you already have. They are most likely using a regular expression to see if the email address is in a valid format for an email address.

And possibly there is an email verification message too...

Possibly but he has taxed my mind reading skill to the limit :-)

Email addresses are pretty easy to validate; the rules are all specified pretty clearly, and there are a large number of regexes for checking them: Google "Regex email PHP"[^] will find you loads.

But...that doesn't mean it's a "real" email address, or that anyone reads what is sent to it if it is.
The only way to check is to send an email which requires a response, and make sure you get it. And that means that the email address was valid when you sent the email, no more - there are web sites out there offering email ID's that last ten minutes, for example!

PHP has a FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL filter.
More details are available at http://www.w3schools.com/php/filter_validate_email.asp[^].
