Yes, get the email addresses right.
Exim HAS to reject the invalid address. Then your mail client is faced with
the problem of communicating to you what is going wrong, and guessing
whether you want to fix the problem before or after sending the mail to the
other recipients.
The easiest thing for the mail client to do is hang on to the email until
you've either:
1) fixed the bad address
2) deleted it, and sent to the other recipients anyway
3) decided not to send the email, because the bad address was the most
important recipient (or something).
