checking for www.

[shank]

I'm trying to qualify email addresses. Is there any reason why the following
line would not catch an email address beginning with "www." ?

ElseIf Left(Session("em"),4) = "www." Then

I put in a dummy email address: ww**********@aol.com and it goes through....
<%=Left(Session("em"),4)%> does reflect "www."
why?

thanks!

[Steven Burn]

<%
If InStrRev(SomeEmail, "www.") Or Not InstrRev(SomeEmail, "@") Then
Response.Write "Invalid E-mail"
Response.End
Else
Response.Write "Valid E-mail (well.... valid'ish)"
Response.End
End If
%>

Not that this answers your question, but ww**********@aol.com is not an
invalid e-mail address.

I agree that it is not 'invalid', but I have never run across anyone that
would use www. as a leader for their address on purpose. But I have received
a bunch that did it by mistake.... Of course they were AOL'rs.

Any time that I have to give an e-mail address at a site, I use the domain
name as my e-mail address, so that when I start receiving spam at an
address, I know who to add to my vendetta list. For example, if I have to
give my e-mail address to espn.com for some reason, I give an e-mail address
of espn@[mydomain].com. Now, I will typically not use the www or the .com,
but I'm just me.

But, regardless, I think that by validating against www., 99% of the people
putting in www will be doing so by error. So, I agree with what you're
doing. :]

The spam is insane! I used to only have a vendetta list in a text file, but
I have since had to port all the data to a DB/2 database that spans 99 hard

That would work if you were an admin and catching all emails to
[mydomain].com, but the average Joe out there just has jo*@aol.com. I am
trying to get users to enter their email addresses for the sake of orders
and email campaigns. These are folks that 'want' our emails. Too many of
them just don't know their email address. We get heated emails flaming us
because they registered and have not gotten our emails. In the end, they
misspelled their addresses. It happens everyday for sure!

For some time now, the top level domain "museum" has been in use.

Here's some code I use to check e-mails..........

<%
'// Point TheEmail to whatever you want to check
TheEmail = "[e-mail]"

'// Process it
If CheckMail(TheEmail) = False Then 'Invalid
Response.Write "Your e-mail address contains invalid characters" Response.End
Else 'Not invalid
Response.Write "Your e-mail address does NOT contain invalid
characters"
Response.End
End If

'// Check it
Function CheckMail(strEmail)
Dim objRegExp , AmIValid
Set objRegExp = New RegExp
'// All on one line
objRegExp.Pattern =

"^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.)|(([a-zA-Z0-9

\-]+\.)+))([a-zA-Z] {2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$"
'// End all on one line
AmIValid = objRegExp.Test(strEmail)
If not AmIValid Then
CheckMail = False
Else
CheckMail = True
