I want to use this for form validation when they enter the email in the first place.

The true answer is no. The reason is that different people write their valuators based
on different criteria. For example:
\.[a-z]{2,4}$ - means that the string has to end with a period followed by a
combination of characters that must have a length of 2-4. This gets .uk and .info with
no problem as they're official domains. On the other hand, someone said that .museum
is now a legal domain and that means that the code has to be {2,6} now.
I'd say take a few of the best ones, look at them to decide why they were done
differently and then roll your own.
Oh, a side question. Do you want to do pre-sending validation or post?
