> Does anyone know of a way to validate an e-mail address that

> I assume valid syntax is the following:
>
> One or more characters before the @ sign, followed by an optional '[',
> then any number of letters, numbers, dashes or periods
> (valid domain/IP
> characters) ending in a period and then 2 or 3 letters (for domain
> suffixes) or 1 to 3 numbers (for IP addresses). An ending bracket is
> also allowed as it is valid syntax to have an email address like:
> user@[255.255.255.0].
