Common error Syntax e-mail address Correction C# Module or Tool

[stardv]

Can anybody recommend were I can download the tool or module that checks e-mail address syntax and corrects common errors like for e-mail changes name@yaho.cm to name@yahoo.com

I am ready to pay for it as well.

Thank you

cm" is a valid extension - Cameroon - therefore, you would need to be very careful when automatically correctly addresses such as these.

A simple piece of client side JavaScript (or server side code) would be able to check the validity of an email address. Try a search on Google for "javascript email address validation" - you might like to add "regex" to the end of that search as well.

You could create your own list of values to confirm. "Are you sure you have entered your email address correctly?" could be a response to a ".cm" extension. No offence Cameroon residents.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for advise.
This was just an example and I did not meant to disregard Cameroon. That is the reason why I do not want to create my own list because I ado not possess the list of all valid domains and I do not have to much time for coding. I just need to find something created and I am sure there should be some.

I don't think you'll find a list, since there are close to an infinite number of possible domain names and sub domains. The only thing you can do, is validate that the email address is in the correct format.

An ASP solution:

A JavaScript solution I use is:

function formValidateEmail(email) {
	var regex = /^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@([a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.)+[a-zA-Z0-9.-]{2,4}$/;
	return regex.test(email);
}

This will return true if valid, otherwise false.

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot.
I already have this simple validation written. I am trying to find something more robust and sophisticated.

Thanks for you advice anyway.
