Anyone found/ created one?

Failing that is it possible to poll a mail server with an email address using javascript?

How bout this one: /^[\w-]+(\.[\w-]+)*@[\w-]+(\.[\w-]+)*\.\w{2,8}$/

Looks like one or two I may have tried lready.

The problem been that I can match most emails addreses but there is always a percentage that fail (even though they are valid).

I suppose I can see if i can open a socket in javascript and see if a response is given aginst the email address for that server.

Try this:

^([\w-\.]+)@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.)|(([\w-]+\.)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$

Javascript is so/so for any kind of verification. If you really want to be spot on try this tutorial.
