What this section does is:
- Manually update our database to pretend that the user has RECEIVED OUR EMAIL and CLICKED THE VALIDATION LINK.
- It will only do it if we think the email address is actually valid.
- Meaning: it won't do it if the email address is "travis".
- And it won't do it if the email address is "john@travislaborde.com" even though that LOOKS good because there is no such actual email address at the travislaborde.com domain.
