Bug #16655 Updated: Function for checking if email-adress is valid

ID: 16655 Updated by: cox@php.net Reported By: metz@speedpartner.de Status: Closed Bug Type: PEAR related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: It's wrong to only check the MX address as many domains don't have it (it's not a requirement). The CNAME has to be checked too.

I think many people will use it and at the moment everyone writes his own "version" of this function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
