This is useless other then some verification that on the time of creation
somebody replied to one mail sent to that specific address. Unless you
design an audit procedure to check the validity and response of the
address at random intervals it doesn't add anything to check it on
creation time except for extra time as the system waits for your reply.

Let's keep it at running a syntax check...
