Email Validator Function
This function checks for just about anything I can think of for an email address to not be a valid formatted email address short of pinging the domain or sending an actual email and it returns a simple true or false.

Here is the ASP code for this script:

    

  <form name="CheckEmailAddr" method="post" action="<%=Request.ServerVariables("URL")%>">

  Enter your email address:

  <input name="EmailAddr" type="text" size="20" class="bnotes">

  <input type="submit" value="Validate" class="bnotes">

  </form>





  <%

  If Len(Trim(Request("EmailAddr"))) > 0 Then



     Function ValidEmail(EmailAddress)

        EmailAddress = Trim(EmailAddress)

        ValidEmail = True



        'Check for spaces

         If Instr(1,EmailAddress," ") > 0 Then

            ValidEmail = False

         End If



         'Check length. Shortest an address can be is 6 (S@S.com = 7, S@S.cx = 6)

         If Len(EmailAddress) < 6 Then

            ValidEmail = False

         End If



         'Check for only one @ somehere in the middle

          TempArr = Split(EmailAddress,"@")

          If UBound(TempArr) <> 1 Then

             ValidEmail = False

          Else

             For x = 0 to UBound(TempArr)

                If Len(Trim(TempArr(x))) = 0 OR IsNull(TempArr(x)) = True Then

                   ValidEmail = False

                End If

             Next

          End If



         'Check for period either three or four places from end

         If InstrRev(EmailAddress,".") = 0 Then

            ValidEmail = False

         Else

            If Len(EmailAddress) - InstrRev(EmailAddress,".") > 3 OR _

               Len(EmailAddress) - InstrRev(EmailAddress,".") < 2 Then

                 ValidEmail = False

            End If

         End If



     End Function



     If ValidEmail(Request("EmailAddr")) = True Then

        Response.Write "The email address you entered appears to be a " & _

                       "valid email address"

     Else

        Response.Write "The email address you entered " & _

                       "does not appears to be a " & _

                       "valid email address"

     End If



   End If
