We don't want to "only allow" the English locale, because we (here at my work) do not want our international clients (non Russian) to be denied email service. That aside, I really don't think getting detailed with Regular Expressions is re-inventing the wheel. Rather, it is expanding knowledge that will help write better rules in the future. (More flexible wheels, in your context). Although I appreciated your earlier post of 'ok_locales', and understood it, I did not appreciate your Troll. Cheers, Mike
