I'm tired of people submitting invalid e-mail address and have
created a perl subroutine to check the syntax of e-mail addresses in
self defense. It doesn't check the actual mail server, but rather the
syntax.
If you have a chance, please test it and see if you can get it to
accept a bad address or reject of good address. It's at:
http://usats.com/cgi-bin/chk-mail.pl
A few notes. It fixes some common errors, commas are replaced by
periods (common compuseve error), trailing period removed, leading and
trailing spaces removed. It also makes "educated guesses" for invalid
formats.
It does check if a three character top level domain is
com, net, etc. It does not check for valid country codes. Should it?
Also, it insists upon a "@" in an address. I know there can be a
valid address without a "@" but I have seen one of those in a long time.
Thanks
