It's also going to fail on .mobi and .museum at least, and reject a number of valid usernames. For a quick fix for your particular problem go through the code looking for anywhere it says {2,3} in a regexp and change them to {2,6}, Mr O'Reilly will still have problems getting responses though.
It's not really possible to validate email addresses in a simple regexp, from RFC-2822 you need...
...To cover everything.Code:(?:[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*|"(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21\x23-\x5b\x5d-\x7f]|\\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])*")@(?:(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?|\[(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?|[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]:(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21-\x5a\x53-\x7f]|\\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])+)\])
Thanks, I figured it was something to do with a a regex validating the email addresses, but I'd been looking at it for so long at that point it was all starting to swim and I was frightened to tinker in case it all went pear-shaped. My regex experience is minimal, so I'm happy to take your advice for the quick specific solution. Much appreciated.
