Just a curiosity. I installed and tested Manuel Lemos's PHP E-mail validation class. When I entered an address at the @wi.rr.com domain, no matter what I put before the domain, it would come back as valid. (That's the Wisconsin domain for Road Runner cable service.) But when I tried it for @earthlink.net only real addresses came back as valid. Does anyone know what it is about some mail servers at certain domains that it would return everything as valid? Jeff Oien so skjoeiruoi@wi.rr.com would show as a valid address. skjoeiruoi@earthlink.net wouldn't but tim@earthlink.net would hi,

this happens because some MTA's don't allow certain commands to be issued (security feature), qmail for instance... the class acts like it should: it tells you that the email is valid. (it's better than refusing a valid email...) regards, Nuno Silva
