Uh, and it's broken: I had a perfectly working regex that allowed all the numbers, letters and only e-mail relevant punctuation (._-@) to sanitize my email fields, and then I thought it would be nice adding a proper email regex, checking for the correct pattern. This is what I have now: function check_chars_email($str) { $str_replace =...

I have just set up a new ASP.NET MVC website and I would like to change it to force the user to authenticate their email address by clicking a validation link in an email. I googled the answer with as many search terms as I could think of, but I guess I never hit the correct one. I started playing with the membership objects to see wha...
How can I check for duplicate email addresses in PHP, with the possibility of Gmail's automated labeler and punctuation in mind? For example, I want these addressed to be detected as duplicates: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Despite what Daniel A. White...
I have been asked to implement some email address validation on a web app - I'm sure we've all been there a thousand times... however, this time I have been asked to do an MX Lookup on the domain to see if it accepts emails. Does anyone know of any potential problems with doing this? Is an mx lookup a reliable way of finding out if a do...
I have a site where users register for an account. I have an internal communication system, that sends them an email when they get a private message. I dont force people to confirm their email, so naturally, many enter a fake address. When they get a PM, it tries to send them an email, but obviously fails, so it keeps retrying and retry...

As per this question I asked previously on Google App Engine, if I have access to all the information in a standard email, not just the From, To, Subject, Body fields, but also all the headers and MIME information, how can I verify that two incoming emails with the same From address are actually from the same sender. What I've consider...
I've been looking at the file MicrosoftMvcJQueryValidation.js which is the layer between your page and the jquery.validate object in ASP.NET MVC 2 Beta. It will allow any type of validation rule supported by jquery.validate and had additional special handling for regularexpressions, strings, ranges and required fields. If it is a generi...

I'd like to know what the best practices are for validating emails with respect to having the [email protected] trick (details here). My current RegExp for JavaScript validation is as follows, but it doesn't support the extra + in the h...

At a threshold of 0.4 some spam gets through and some customer's questions are wrong...
I'm not asking about full email validation. I just want to know what are allowed characters in user-name and server parts of email address. This may be oversimplified, maybe email adresses can take other forms, but I don't care. I'm asking about only this simple form: user-name@server (e.g. [email protected]) and allowed c...

I'm using HTML contact forms on a business site to post lead information to Salesforce. We're using auto-responders to deliver key information to people who complete a form asking for additional information. The goal is to reject forms that are submitted by competitors. It doesn't need to be bullet proof; the main idea is to reject an...
