Syntax of an Email Address

Hi All,

    I want to write a simple (but correct) E-Mail Address Validator. Does anybody know where can I get the syntax specification for an E-mail address?

Thanks in advance,
Behrang.

Behrang,

There are probably other sources. But, when I was working on a project
that dealt with e-mail I used the Request For Comments (RFC) dealing w/
e-mail messages.

    http://crsemail.sourceforge.net/docs/rfc822.txt

(if you look under 6.1 "SYNTAX" you'll see BNF describing the address)


Hope this helps

Ed.
