email validation

[brucie]

just a note for people with a form on their site. if you're using some
sort of voodoo to check if the email address is valid FFS make sure that
it can handle TLDs other then just com/net/org.

i'm really getting sick of being told that .info that was introduced *4
years ago* is invalid.

I know the script I use (NMS) accepts anything in the format (e-mail address removed)
as an email address. The webmaster must take on the brunt of the
discomfort, I agree, to the end that the user bears only the expected risk.

Hey! What are you doing starting a thread? I don't think I've seen you
start a thread in the time I've been here!

Yep, it can! (It can even handle .id)

guaranteed way!

prevented from doing it by clueless idiots.

you don't sell anything i want unless you offer "personal services" you
haven't mentioned on your site.

Not to mention all those other TLD's that are supposed to be valid in South
America.
If you wanted to check for validity, you'd need to check some 300 plus
tld's.

Best way to do that is to mention that t word.

Mine even accepts addresses written like me at mydomain dot
info.
But no, Brucie, no "personal services" offered ;-)

i think i would have trouble convincing mr. taxman that you're a valid
deduction.

No personal services, sorry.

gowd damnit! you're in league with Els.

Check with Duende. ;-)

good idea. i've often had fantasies of running my tongue through the
crevices between his wrinkles.

First you have to get all this damn duct tape off. And next time don't
use this yucky green stuff. I gives me a rash.

That's why I use DNS and SMTP to check email addresses. It takes
longer, but it works fine.

Oh, wait, what the hell am I doing in alt.html? Aaaarrrggghhhh, I'm
outta here.
