There's one addon that claims it can do this, but I haven't looked into it, yet.
At the very least you can replace their email validation function (found in includes/functions.php) by this, it'll help you cut some of the garbage emails by using a proper regex check + MX record check:

PHP Code:
function is_valid_email($email) {
    if (!
ereg("^[^@]{1,64}@[^@]{1,255}$"$email)) {
            return 
false;
      }
      
$email_array explode("@"$email);
      
$local_array explode("."$email_array[0]);
      for (
$i 0$i sizeof($local_array); $i++) {
            if (!
ereg("^(([A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-][A-Za-z0-9!#$%&↪'*+/=?^_`{|}~\.-]{0,63})|(\"[^(\\|\")]{0,62}\"))$",$local_array[$i])) {
                  return 
false;
            }
      }

      if (!
ereg("^\[?[0-9\.]+\]?$"$email_array[1])) {
            
$domain_array explode("."$email_array[1]);
            if (
sizeof($domain_array) < 2) {
                return 
false;
            }
            for (
$i 0$i sizeof($domain_array); $i++) {
                  if (!
ereg("^(([A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9-]{0,61}[A-Za-z0-9])|↪([A-Za-z0-9]+))$",$domain_array[$i])) {
                    return 
false;
                  }
            }
      }

    if (
checkdnsrr($email_array[1], 'MX')) {
        return 
true;
    }
    else {
          return 
false;
    }
