I use this to validate the email address entered into a form. Might be
useful:

function ValidateEmailAddress($EmailAddress){
$EmailAddress = strtolower(trim($EmailAddress));
if
(!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z
{2,4})$", $EmailAddress)){ return FALSE;
} else {
return $EmailAddress;
}
}

Which will exclude a lot of valid emailadresses. We recently had a
discussion on this on comp.lang.javascript. Check
