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 :

(again, note line wrap)

Not fool proof, but has worked for me so far.

Regards,
Burhan Khalid
