That's because a@b is a perfectly valid email address, I only doubt there are many people that would use it. it just points to use "a" at server "b" If you want to find out if an email address actually exists you need to test it with a verification email, or just ask the mail server (and trust its response, but I'd discourage that route) ---- Server IP: 213.249.64.162 Probable Submitter: 82.74.107.29 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/filter.filters.validate.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/96578 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96578/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96578/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96578/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96578/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96578/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96578/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96578 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/96578 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
