E-mail validation

Hi Roland,

I didn’t implement serious email validation because it’s actually a very difficult problem (that is by and large implemented incorrectly in most places on the internet). This is because the email specification is actually way looser than you might believe from common email format practices.

However, I’ve written a micro-plugin you can add to your site for really simple email validation — basically it checks for an @ symbol. You can use it by clicking the Download Gist button on the right, uploading the simple-email-validation-for-rtb.php file to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory, and activating it from the Plugins page in your WordPress admin panel.

Hi Nate,

thanks for your help.
I have activated the plugin and it works fine!

By the way… your four-legged friend looks nice and young!

Regards
Roland
