Is there any good reason to allow email addresses (in smtp, imap and alikes) in any format different from mailbox@fqdn ?
The other caveat with validating email addresses is with IDN¹ you now need to support unicode in the frontend although your existing regex should cope fine with punycode'd FQDNs in the backend. cheers Marty ¹ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () listserv icsalabs com https://listserv.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
