Note Submitter: php at theredhead dot nl ---- 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)
