Description

Should email validation (HOST/MX) be considered? So when a user email is added/modified, it could be checked and avoid some typo errors (verification TBD before address is saved on the DB)?

Something like https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/3.4/src/Symfony/Component/Validator/Constraints/EmailValidator.php

And this complementary feature could be interesting too: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/15373
