New user email address validation

Feature Requests
1

Please add to the Users service:

  1. Client and server side validation (regex-based?) to email address format.
  2. Option to validate email address even exists a la https://lifehacker.com/5697360/how-to-verify-if-an-email-address-is-real-or-fake before creating user account. Make call from client side as part of validation before submitting entries, creating user account and sending validation email.

My users table has tons of entries from people leaving off the domain (like @gmail.com) or misspelling their own email address during sign up, then complaining that they didn’t get the verification email, that the app isn’t working correctly, etc.
