As Steven said, you can check the format, but not for the validity of
the account. Format checking can get very crazy if you try to allow
for every possible format. I chose to validate for a common format
like [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
<cfscript>
function iswellformedemail(email) {
if (refindnocase("^['_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)[EMAIL PROTECTED](\.[a-z0-9-]+)*\.([a-z]{2,})$",arguments[1])) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
</cfscript>
