you could use a small java code and do the validation via regexp here is a DEMO:
import java.lang.*; import java.util.*; import org.apache.oro.text.regex.*; public final class isEmail { public static boolean check(String email) { PatternMatcher matcher; PatternCompiler compiler; Pattern p1 = null; PatternMatcherInput input; MatchResult result; compiler = new Perl5Compiler(); matcher = new Perl5Matcher(); String r1="^[_a-z0-9-]+(\\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\\.[a-z0-9-]+)*$"; try { p1 = compiler.compile(r1,Perl5Compiler.MULTILINE_MASK+Perl5Compiler.CASE_INSENSIT IVE_MASK); } catch (MalformedPatternException e) { return true; } input = new PatternMatcherInput(email); return matcher.contains(input,p1); } } see: http://jakarta.apache.org/oro/index.html for more details regarding regexp !
