Getting the following exception:

EmailValidator should not accept a hyphen as first caracter.
Note: Component set to "Utilities" but really I believe a "Validator" Component should be available.

Actually, I couldn't confirm that emails must not start with an hyphen, so this issue is invalid.
I think the solution is to have an email validator that will actually open a connection to the smtp server and call smtp vrfy command.

Thanks for this ticket, however we discussed a similar case in #25452 and the consensus on the mailing list was to simplify the validation, not make it more comprehensive.
