The From: must be in a form that your MTA will at least accept (even if it isn't deliverable), and depending on how stupid the user is, you will get various errors in the log file. This is a classic Carbon-based error that no amount of programming can completely resolve). If you have the opportunity to pre-validate the user's e-mail address, like requiring them to sign up and reply to a challenge e-mail, you are much more likely to not have errors.
