Wouldn't you want three kinds of return values from sub extract_valid_address() if you want to do this? That is,

 (1) address is valid and this is the cleaned up value;
 (2) address is known to be bogus; do not use it.
 (3) address might be local.

And (1) and (3) are probably the same thing in practice. In a localsite setting, it is often convenient to be able to use addr-spec that is local-part only, so something like the attached change, with your error squelching for 'undef' return in the second case, might be more appropriate.
