in thread Please evaluate: RegEx for validating e-mail addresses
The point that Ovid was making is that if you wish to use a regular expression to validate an email address's format, you've got to make a choice: Either use that whopping big regexp that he provided, or risk mistakenly rejecting valid addresses. If you don't mind rejecting valid addresses, go with a less intricate regular expression, but it won't be a robust solution.
