email validator expression question
Hi,
what is wrong with this validator expression:
"^.+@.+\..+"
Is doesn't match for example "a@b.d".

I didn't know that. Shit! I guess, then, the best you can do (besides
actually sending the address to a mail server and getting the response -
which would be s-l-o-w) is checking for the presence of anything before an
"@", and one or more "." after it. I have noticed the spammers have gotten
quite inventive in formulating emails addresses that escape my McAfee Spam
Killer.

Don't forget that new extensions can have until 4 letters.
I must admit that I'm bored with forms rejecting my email... ;op

I might be wrong, but I think /^[A-Za-z0-9\.]{1, }@[A-za-z0-9]\.[a-z]{2,3}/
allows only one character after "@".
I couldn't find the description how to write validator expression but
actually what I need is the regexp:
"^.+@[^.]+\..*$"
(The string can contain any characters until "@", then can come any
characters until a "." what can be followed by anything.)
Can you help me please?

I think what you want is something like
/^[A-Za-z0-9\.]{1, }@[A-za-z0-9]\.[a-z]{2,3}/
