I use a number of different things based on where it's needed. The below looks good, while not being 100% RFC compliant (the RFC does not specify that an address has to start with a letter) Also, the extension at the end is not 100% valid as there are domain extensions of more than 4 letters (museum). As I'm cleaning up my code and putting it into full CFMX and CF-OO, I'll start posting my functions up. I have not done so in the past due to lack of documentation. At least documentation meant for others. :)
