The way this works (for those not as much into this as others) is that the domain is registered and if the email address is not previously verified, the verification method is triggered and the domain suspended if the verification is not successful after 15 days.

>> Anyway, the address is valid, as in actually exists, hence the initial "validation". You don't need me to tell you that a large number of registrars simply automate the address check process and when complaints arise, they can claim that they had conducted validation checks. More often than not (in my experience) the complaint is then dropped by ICANN. 
>> 
>> As silly as this sounds, if the sender address is not monitored, then the reply that it's not valid will simply not be read. I also see that they ask you to "contact your domain name Service Provider for direct assistance" if you need to correct any information. Again, don't contact us, it's not our problem.
