There is also a tag at the Allaire sight that not only checks the syntax of
the email, but also ensures that the mail server exists. I think it's
called "isEmail" and the only downside I found with it is that it hangs and
causes a timeout if you are not connected to the net when it's used (kinda
makes sense)
