It could be. I, for my part, don't know much about PHP. (And I tend to
confuse it in my mind with Python, about which I am equally ignorant.) The
original poster didn't mention what server-side language he (she?) required,
so I figured he wouldn't mind hearing about a Perl alternative too.
Certainly my script could be easily converted to a PHP action script. (If
anyone does it, let me know, and I'll link to you.)

Actually, if you keep your email addresses on the server, you don't even
need to validate them syntactically, because they only come from inside your
script, not from the big bad Internet. (I suppose you could have made a
typo...)
