I've got a newsletter and email list management admin system set up for
a client. There's a number of ways they can get email addresses into a
specific list - enter through a form, import from Excel ...
I've got validation (regEX) on the input side to try and filter out bad
addresses.
<cfscript>
//IsEmail(address)
//Returns if a str is a valid email
function IsEmail(address) {
if(REFindNoCase("[[:alnum:]_\.\-]+@([[:alnum:]_\.\-]+\.)+[[:alpha:]]{2,4}",address))
return TRUE;
else return FALSE;
}
</cfscript>
Just to be sure, I run it again on the output "Send a Newsletter" side:
1. <cfloop query="mailLIST">
2. <cfif isEmail(mailLIST.sendTO)>
3. <cfmail from="#mailLIST.sendTO#" ......
15. <cfelse>
16. #mailLIST.sendTO# is a bad address - delete?
17. </cfif>
But, there seems to be an address or two that isEmail will allow, but
causes cfmail will throw an error.
I need to be dead sure that whatever routine I'm using will catch
*anything* that cfmail is going to choke on.
There's some pretty tough to validate real email address in the database
that look like:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Ideas?
