You could just downcase the address and save some chars; email is case-insensitive. You've left out the '+' character used for name+extensions under sendmail (and perhaps postfix). You allow an ending . on a hostnmae, which you shouldn't. It looks like you could switch your two [] expressions on the right side and lose the \. in the middle and be OK. % % HTH HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) davidtg@justpickone.org * society and not sufficient moral courage.
