Checking the email using valid_email() would be a good approach here. Use of getmxrr() should be avoided because it is not available on IIS.

Oops, I meant "valid_email_address()", which it looks like we're already using.

O, thanks, I didn't know IIS doesn't support getmxrr. I knew CheckDnsrr wasn't supported. How could I make it detect if the server is using Apache or IIS?

Also, the patch is applied to sites/modules/webform/components/email.inc

Since this patch hasn't seen any activity in over 6 months I'm going to go ahead and close.
