The registration will not succeed because the mail then bounces, and the validation of the registration (paragraph 3) therefore cannot succeed.
Whilst a formal regexp validation could be put in, this is a losing battle and I am not of the view we should try to cope with every possible syntax.
The first sentence could be improved perhaps to avoid the implication (already clear in the third paragraph) that this completes a registration.
