Google for "email regex". Be warned - this is very complicated if you
want to match *all* possible email addresses.

Just send your users an email asking them to reply. If they do, it's
obviously a valid address.

Depends on the content of the reply and your definition of "valid". I
occasionally get emails from people intending to reach someone else. The
address is "valid" to reach someone, but not "valid" to reach the intended
party. Often I'll send a courtesy reply informing the sender that they have
not reached the correct party and advising them to fix their address lists.

I suggest that you make use of an already written module in some
language such as Perl. See
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Email_address_parsing for an example.
