Well, yes and just for clarification, I was talking about valid (i.e. real) addresses, not just valid format, which is also the responsibility of the designer (and i've posted about here in the past).

Thanks Mike Schemitt. Actually as a designer I am validating the Email ID format.

As far as I know this is not really an issue within Appian - the verification that a valid e-mail address has been entered should be the responsibility of the user, and then the designer. Different email servers will have different ways of dealing with nonexistent email addresses, and I believe most will do nothing (no bounce-back message or anything), and the mail hosts that do have a bounce-back message would not necessarily be similar at all. You could try putting an email listener in your Appian process to listen for a bounceback but it might not be possible to capture everything (if possible at all).

Edit: FYI, I shared a custom expression rule that validates e-mail address formatting, in this old Forum thread.
