Email RegularExpression not working

[Learning SQL Server]

The email reg exp that ships with the RegularExpressionValidator doesnt like
this email address:

us**@blah.ru

Or any other email domain that contains only 2 letters after the dot.

It *looks* like it should (I notice the qualifier at the end of the
statement for 2 or more letters), but the validator always fires anyway.
Anyone else notice similar behavior or do I just need some sleep?

try validationExpression="\S+@\S+\.\S{2,3}"

This is the one I use:

[\w-.]+?@([\w-]+?\.)+[\w]{2,}

I've tested it fairly extensively, including a couple of embarassing
incidents where potential customers trying to register emailed me to tell me
that my form wouldn't accept their email address, resulting in the included
regular expression.

I haven't had any emails for a while now to tell me I'm rejecting valid
addresses.

Here's a regex I use to validate e-mail addresses:

^[-a-zA-Z0-9][-.a-zA-Z0-9]*@[-.a-zA-Z0-9]+(\.[-.a-zA-Z0-
9]+)*\.(com|edu|info|gov|int|mil|net|org|biz|name|mu seum|coop|aero|pr
o|[a-zA-Z]{2})$
Hope this helps.
