I wrote a email validation function (PHP) a long time ago. Don't know how upto date it is, but you might find it interesting : function checkEmail($address) { if(ereg( "^[^@ ]+@([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9\-]{2}|net|com|gov|mil|org|edu|int)$",$address) ) return true; else return false; } (note line wrap) You can download the code here : http://www.planet-source-code.com/xq/ASP/txtCodeId.430/lngWid.8/qx/vb/scripts/ShowCode.htm (again, note line wrap) Not fool proof, but has worked for me so far.
