fix: replace regex email validation with email-validator

Swap hand-rolled regex for the email-validator library which handles
RFC 5322 edge cases correctly. check_deliverability=False skips DNS
lookups (not viable on an intranet). Blank email still passes — only
a non-empty, malformed address triggers the error.
