Who knows. You haven't specified how you are sending e-mail.  Likely, if
an e-mail address is invalid, python still happily hands it off to your
designated mail server or local MTA (mail transfer agent--could be
sendmail).  What happens there depends entirely on the policies of the
mail server or MTA you are using.

If python is trying to use sendmail, then probably the process would
just fail and return some sort of error code.  But you will need to
check on the documentation of whatever e-mail library you are using in
Python.
