Email Validation

[Crash1hd]

I was wondering if anyone knows of a good server side email validation useing asp that does all the normal checks i.e. @ the .com but also checks when people put something like email@email.com where the first word is the same as the second word? another example is word@word.com

This regular expression would work pretty good. I can build it into a function if you are unfamiliar with regexp.

As for making sure the mailbox and the domain aren't the same, I think writing a thing in asp would be the easiest.

You could do something like:

<%
Function SameMail_Domain(strAddress)
	Dim aryMail
	aryMail=Split(strAddress, "@")
	If aryMail(0)=Mid(aryMail(1),1,InstrRev(aryMail(1),".")-1) Then
		SameMail_Domain=True
	Else
		SameMail_Domain=False
	End If
End Function
%>

<% If SameMail_Domain("blah@blah.com") Then %>
	<p>The e-mail is the same!</p>
<% End If %>

I think this is Whammys stuff, but it really shows off regular expressions really well.
