How to block lead creation while uploading the lead without email address?

Today I have uploaded the leads with wrong mapping for email address but I noticed all the leads were uploaded having email address blank. Is there any way we can block this type of lead creation?

We usually have a smart campaign that detects any lead creation with email address empty end immediately delete them from Marketo.

Thanks Greg! I think this would be the best way to remove them.

If you use a trigger, remember to add a wait at the beginning of the flow and test the existence of the email address as a choice in the flow, to avoid any issue with database latency on the creation that would drive to delete leads that do have an email address.

I personally prefer to use a batch.

I don't think there is any way to block this. When importing, check the email address field example to make sure it is showing an email address.
