subscribing is possible for invalid email also. #78

I was trying to subscribe using the email adfs@gmail.com. When I clicked on Subscribe, I got following message

Thank you for your subscription request. You should receive an automated message with confirmation instructions. Click here to return to Codidact

But, adfs@gmail.com isn't valid email address. So, I think subscribing using fake email address shouldn't be allowed. There maybe a way to detect valid email address also.

How can we tell at form-submission time that the email address isn't valid, though? That's why we send the confirmation email; you're not subscribed until you respond to that, which you can only do if the email address is valid.

Currently, there's no need to check if an email is fake or not. If someone is using a fake email then it's their fault and I'm not sure if we'll stop anything by stopping fake emails
