Ah, I wasn't aware of SMTPUTF8, I am showing my age!

Thanks for the quick response.

>             Project: Commons Validator

> By chance we chose the string "bad£$Email@Something.com" as a test string, but it passes validation?!
> e.g.
>  
> {code:java}
> import org.apache.commons.validator.routines.EmailValidator;
> public class TryEmailValidator
> {
>    public static void main(String[] args)
>    {
>       if (EmailValidator.getInstance().isValid("bad£$Email@Something.com"))
>       {
>          throw new RuntimeException("That's not right?!");
>       }
>    }
> }
> {code}
