Comment (by Monarobase):

 Not existing is invalid because RFC standards state that it's a mailbox.

 If it's not existing then it's not a mailbox.

 Mailbox definition is here :
 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5321#section-2.3.11

 SMTP defines the reverse-path (envelope MAIL FROM / what becomes Return-
 Path) as a sender mailbox
 RFC 5321 (SMTP) :
  - “The reverse-path consists of the sender mailbox.”
 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5321#section-4.1.1.2
