Only partially works. It says that bobm at dottedibiz is valid, but also so is applepie at dottedi.biz, or anything else that doesn't break syntax criteria. It seems to validify domain only. I have links to several others that I googled to test, but some are documented for the tech community, and miss the target on simple testing/implementation, thus I need to read deep. -Bob
