Which brings us back round to:
The only way to guarantee that an email address is actually going to the
entity that entered it on your form is to send a verification code to the
email address.
And even then, I suspect that there are some smart spamming systems out
there that have email addresses and use eg curl to process the email
verification links (which is why I use entity and not person above).
