<?php

$hosts[] = "localhost";
$hosts[] = "nowhere.dee";
$hosts[] = "invalid.invalid";
$hosts[] = "example.com";
foreach ( $hosts as $host ) {
  $ip = gethostbyname( $host );
  if ( $ip == $host )
    echo "Error - {$host} - host not found\n";
  else
    echo "{$host} has ip address {$ip}\n";
  }

gives output:

localhost has ip address 127.0.0.1
Error - nowhere.dee - host not found
Error - invalid.invalid - host not found
example.com has ip address 192.0.43.10

What you have defined locally is irrelevant. Internet domains do not 
exist unless their tld is registered with the internet GTLD root servers, 
and there is a dns query path to the relevant domain nameserver from the 
internet GTLD root servers.

If you must obscure your email address, I suggest you use 
email@example.com instead. Using <something>@invalid.invalid is just as 
bad as using any other made up domain name. (see <http://www.iana.org/
domains/special> )

postmaster@localhost is of course another possibility, and should be 
valid everywhere.
