Checking if email is valid

[avi.e.gross at gmail.com]

Just mildly noticing the topics discussed have wandered quite a bit away
from Python, let alone even programming.

Phone numbers are not what they used to be. They tend to be quite portable
and in some ways can be chained so my house phone rings through to my cell
phone but a text will not be forwarded. And, if I do not choose to read my
texts, no amount of sending would enlighten me about your needs. I know
people who get WhatsApp messages but not standard texts, for example.

Oh yes, it totally can. Never mind that some mobile numbers are able
to accept text messages but not calls, nor that some landline numbers
can accept text messages as well as calls :)
