I hope this isn't too far off topic -

I have a regex for validating email addresses -

if (empty($useremail) || !eregi("^([A-Za-z0-9\.\_-])+@([A-Za-z0-9\_-])+\.
([A-Za-z]{2,3})+$", $useremail))

Notice the {2,3} which is supposed to limit the last part to 2 or 3
letters, but I have been testing this and
it allows as many letters as I put in there, but not 1 only.
What's wrong?
Also, when using eregi do I need to specify A-Za-z or just a-z, since it is
case-insensitive?
