  If you're looking for technical validation try this:
  
  1. Create a webform field type Email
  2. Install [Webform validation](https://www.drupal.org/project/webform_validation) module (if you don't already have it) and implement rule "Equal Values".
  3. Apply validation rule to emails for webform and CiviCRM by using the checkbox.
