Acutally - a quick followup to this. I thought it was the RFC822 validation that was causing the problem. But in fact it was ASSP's own RegEx that was causing the problem. At the moment, ASSP using the following RegEx to determine a valid email address: $EmailAdrRe="[^()<>@,;:\\\"\\[\\]\000-\040]+"; - anything that doesn't match that is automatically rejected. Should this functionality be modified? My email address of "username:folder"@domain.com is automatically rejected by ASSP even though it is a valid RFC822/2822 email address. If I modify the RegEx and remove the : and " as invalid chars, the email address is accepted sucessfully even with RFC822 validation enabled. Should this regex be redefined to be more complete? Something more along the lines of the follwoing (am not a perl regex expert, so bear with me): $EmailAdrRe="((\\\".+\\\")|([^()<>@,;\\[\\]\000-\040]))+" thoughts?
