This code permits addresses like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". Are they valid? Which leads me to the question: where can I find the specs for what characters are allowed in what places in a properly formatted email address? I looked through the RFCs but couldn't find this--or maybe I didn't look in the right ones. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Erik Voldengen sent this one to the list a while back: It handles "multiple top levels", checks for valid "root domains", disallows double @@ and will ensure that the email address contains just "alphanumeric" characters. Very nice piece of work! <cfset email_address="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"> <cfif REFindNocase("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*\.(([a-z ]{2,3})|(aero|coop|info|museum|name))$",email_address)> good.. <cfelse> bad.. </cfif> ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
