I agree, it is not an "error", and so should not be an exception.

The PHP function takes an error level parameter indicating what kind of error level you want. You can pass in a warning and error level and possible others as well. You can also turn the error handling completely off. If the error handling is turned off the function will only return "true" or "false" indicating if the email address is valid or not.
