The mail api may not send the email immediately, I'd imagine it hits a queue first. So it can't throw an error on bad email addresses. The only solution is to return bounced emails via the return-path. GAE has never supported sending the user bounced emails. If you need this functionality you will need to use a 3rd party email service.
