Depends what you mean by invalid email address. There is a test to check 
that the email addresses entered follow the basic rules of a correct 
email address (i.e. it has an @ sign in it for starters, among other 
things), but there is no way to check that the address exists at the 
time of entry.

You only find that out after you have tried to deliver the message and 
it has failed (which legitimately can easily take 5-7 days). You 
probably don't want to wait a week for the page to load while it checks 
that the email message got through. :-(
