As for how to actually do that... there are a lot of different ways and looking at the RFC822 there are very complex email address posibilities that even many of the major commercial mail servers out there will not accept because they are so extremely rare that it is easier not to bother with them then to try and figure out a way to match them. A full fletched way to match all possible types of email addresses does as far as I am aware not even exist. In any case having a look on cpan <http://search.cpan.org/> might help though I think you might be better helped havign a look at the email procject <http://emailproject.perl.org/> Regards, Rob
