No, not quite. I must not have made it very clear in my initial post. The reason why I would want to "pre-validate" an email address is because someone entered an incomplete one on my system (user@gmail), and it broke the script because the script (incorrectly) treated the entry as though it were a QWKmail address. This let the user skip validation and proceed to main, when it should have screened them out instead.
