Maybe I misunderstood but I think this approach would also block those
sysops who are sending in a *correct* application and use a *valid* working
*.synchro.net address.

I received a response from Rob.  He has added some code to the script that
will include a blurb to notify the potential sysop how important the email
address they enter is and also some code that will check for a vaild MX
entry for the domain entered.

That should keep new sysops from sending emails from/with *.synchro.net
(or other invalid) accounts that are not set up to accept mail.  It won't find
all potential address errors, and won't force them to fill out the required
applications, but it is a start to at least getting a good address to
communicate with them.
