Depends on the content of the reply and your definition of "valid". I
occasionally get emails from people intending to reach someone else. The
address is "valid" to reach someone, but not "valid" to reach the intended
party. Often I'll send a courtesy reply informing the sender that they have
not reached the correct party and advising them to fix their address lists.
