I noticed a small inconsistency, which I consider not urgent or important at all, but still wanted to note it:

While the 'regex' checker spends extra effort for accepting email addresses lke example@[1.2.3.4] as well, the 'mx' checker will refuse such addresses because the dns lookup will find no domain server for [1.2.3.4].

FWIW, I'm going look into this soon, but I first need to find a server which actually accepts emails by the ip address notation so I can test this.
