I'm wondering if there is a possibility of a common (for our JavaScript ng) regex solution for email validation, that we can all use for our work ? I've also heard mentioned of a function called (I believe) checkdnsrr() which is used by server software to do more thorough checks of a suspect email address. Is this 'function' available as a download or C source that can be compiled (I have several C compilers on my machine). Thank to y'all. -Mel Smith
