Because of that even some body fills like 'ah:#@fhjk-@///kjdfr' >as their email address, our form is accepting it as a valid email field.

First the e-mail address is validated against a regular expression with this forms generation and validation class both on the client side and then on the server side: http://phpclasses.UpperDesign.com/browse.html/package/1 Then on the server side I use this class to check with the destination SMTP server if the specified mail box really exists. http://phpclasses.UpperDesign.com/browse.html/package/13 Regards, Manuel Lemos Web Programming Components using PHP Classes.
