Need Help??

in reply to How to validate E-mail addresses

To do it correctly, it is not a simple regexp. use the Email::Valid module from CPAN.

use Email::Valid;
print (Email::Valid->address('maurice@hevanet.com') ? 'yes' : 'no');

Also, with Email::Valid, you should enable the -mxcheck option and do some SMTP afterwards to verify that what you found, has an actual account on the other side.
