Spry validation and validating email address?

I've seen that spry can be used to validate forms. I have not
seen an
example of an email address or more complicated validating
being done.
Where's a good source for how to do this?

Validating email addresses is not entirely possible. You can
only validate
the SYNTAX of an email address. This is best done server side
rather than
client side (or perhaps both ways) since validating only
client side can be
defeated by simply disabling javascript.
I like the Spry validation, though, because it is EXTREMELY
flexible and
easy to use. David Powers has some very good discussions
about Spry in his
Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS. Ajax, and PHP book, as does David
McFarland in his
Dreamweaver CS3: The Missing Manual.

"" does not appear to be a valid email address. Verify the address and try again.

I am getting this error whenever I copy an email address from somewhere and paste it into the 'To' field.
“” does not appear to be a valid email address. Verify the address and try again.
Whattup with that?
Only way to get around it seems to be either typing the whole address in (uh!) or clicking on the email address and letting Mail create the new message. Both are not the way I need to do things and it used to work perfectly in Snow Leopard, as would be expected for such a basic sort of command.

I had the same problem with multiple adressess:
I used the " ; " as a seperator.
The message was sent with no trouble at all as soon as I used the " , " (comma) instead.
Hope this helps

What are valid and invalid email address characters

What are valid and invalid email address characters in Exchange 2010, for example can you have Conan.O'[email protected] is there a document that shows the valid and invalid sysmbols?

Hi
The format of email addresses is
local-part@domain where the local-part may be up to 64 characters long and the
domain name may have a
maximum of 253 characters - but the maximum 256 characters length of a forward or reverse path restricts the entire email address to be no more than 254 characters.[1]
The formal definitions are in RFC 5322 (sections 3.2.3
and 3.4.1) and RFC 5321 - with a more readable form given in
the informational RFC 3696[2]
and the associated errata.
Local part
The local-part of the email address may use any of these
ASCII characters
RFC 5322 Section
3.2.3:
Uppercase and lowercase English letters (a–z, A–Z) (ASCII: 65-90, 97-122)
Digits
0 to
9 (ASCII: 48-57)
Characters
!#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~ (ASCII: 33, 35-39, 42, 43, 45, 47, 61, 63, 94-96, 123-126)
Character
. (dot, period, full stop) (ASCII: 46) provided that it is not the first or last character, and
provided also that it does not appear two or more times consecutively (e.g. [email protected] is not allowed.).
Special characters are allowed with restrictions. They are:
o
Space and
"(),:;<>@[\] (ASCII: 32, 34, 40, 41, 44, 58, 59, 60, 62, 64, 91-93)
The restrictions for special characters are that they must only be used when contained between quotation marks, and that 3 of them (The
space, backslash \ and
quotation mark " (ASCII: 32, 92, 34)) must also be preceded by a backslash
\ (e.g.
A quoted string may exist as a dot separated entity within the local-part, or it may exist when the outermost quotes are the outermost characters of the local-part
(e.g. abc."defghi"[email protected] or
"abcdefghixyz"@example.com are allowed. Conversely,
abc"defghi"[email protected] is not; neither is
abc\"def\"[email protected]). Quoted strings and characters however, are not commonly used.
RFC 5321 also
warns that "a host that expects to receive mail SHOULD avoid defining mailboxes where the Local-part requires (or uses) the Quoted-string form".
The local-part "postmaster" is treated specially - it is case-insensitive, and should be forwarded to the server's administrator. Technically all other local-parts
are case sensitive, therefore [email protected] and [email protected] specify different mailboxes. However most organizations treat uppercase and lowercase letters as equivalent, and also do not allow use of the technically valid characters
(space, ? and ^). Organizations are free to restrict the forms of their own email addresses as desired, e.g.,
Windows Live Hotmail,
for example, only allows creation of email addresses using alphanumerics, dot (.), underscore (_)
and hyphen (-).[3]
Systems that send mail must be capable of handling outgoing mail for all valid addresses. Contrary to the relevant standards, some defective systems treat certain
legitimate addresses as invalid and fail to handle mail to these addresses. Hotmail, for example, refuses to send mail to any address containing any of the following standards-permissible characters:
!#$%*/?^`{|}~
Domain part
The domain name part of an email address has to conform to strict guidelines: it must match the requirements for a
hostname,
consisting of letters, digits, hyphens and dots. In addition, the domain part may be an
IP address
literal, surrounded by square braces, such as jsmith@[192.168.2.1], although this is rarely seen except
in email spam.
Examples
Valid email addresses
<tt>[email protected]</tt>
<tt>[email protected]</tt>
<tt>[email protected]</tt>
<tt>much."more\ unusual"@example.com</tt>
<tt>very.unusual."@"[email protected]</tt>
<tt>very."(),:;<>[]".VERY."very@\\\ \"very"[email protected]</tt>
Invalid email addresses
<tt>Abc.example.com</tt> (an @ character must separate the local and domain parts)
<tt>[email protected]</tt> (character dot(.) is last in local part)
<tt>[email protected]</tt> (character dot(.) is double)
<tt>A@b@[email protected]</tt> (only one @ is allowed outside quotation marks)
<tt>a"b(c)d,e:f;g<h>i[j\k][email protected]</tt> (none of the special characters in this local part
is allowed outside quotation marks)
<tt>just"not"[email protected]</tt> (quoted strings must be dot separated, or the only element making
up the local-part)
<tt>this is"not\[email protected]</tt> (spaces, quotes, and backslashes may only exist when within
quoted strings and preceded by a slash)
<tt>this\ still\"not\\[email protected]</tt> (even if escaped (preceded by a backslash), spaces, quotes,
and backslashes must still be contained by quotes)

JavaMail and Valid Email Address

Hello All,
I am using JavaMail API to send thousands of emails every day through my application running on J2EE application server...
But what i really want to do is, how do i check whether a particular Email Address is Valid or not,if not valid then catch a exception and report it....
Also i meant by Valid email address as to be exsisting on that mail server..e.g "[email protected]"...i.e.the user "javamail" should exist on that domain "sun.com"...
Is there any way which i can do the above thing?
Also,since i will be sending 1000's of emails every day will it be feasible for me to check each and every email whether it exist or not and then send it.....how much time will it take to do the same...
Please help me out with this,can anybody give me a Detail desciption and Code of how can i do it...
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated
Thanks a million is advance
Sam

E-mail generally passes through a whole series of Mail Transfer Agents before arriving on the target machine, and it could be rejected at any stage.
It may wind up waiting in a queue. It could be days before it reaches a machine that knows whether the user is valid or not.
And machines aren't as helpful as they used to be about letting out information about available e-mail addresses,
too many evil spammers about.
You can test the format, though I've seen a lot of active e-mail addresses with what I believe are invalid characters in them apparently find their way through.
In theory you could look up the domain part of the address on the DNS. If you don't find either an "A" record or a "MX" record then niether will your mail transfer agent. AFAIK there's no standard java classes for doing that but there may be some out there on the net.
There's no sure way of validating a user name except sending a mail and see if it bounces.

You might want to rethink your thoughts about making transferring authority easier. Making it too easy would certainly degrade your account's security. If you still believe it should be easier, you can send feedback directly to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
You will not get a response, but you can be certain that the responsible Apple people will see your input for consideration in FaceTime product development.

Validating email address - please help?

hi,
i have registration form in jsf, and i have a field for an email address, i was wandering if anyone knows how to validate the email address, when this is submitted to a javabean, to make sure it is an actual valid email address and that both email addresses ( re-entered ) entered are the same.
so what i really want is the javacode for the javabean that can validate the email address to make sure it is valid.
any help is appreciated
thanks.

Here's how I did a Postal code validation:
public void validatePostalCode(FacesContext context, UIComponent toValidate, java.lang.Object inputValue) throws
ValidatorException {
Pattern pattern;
String expression = "\\D{1}\\d{1}\\D{1}\\d{1}\\D{1}\\d{1}"; // x9x9x9
String value = null;
try {
value = inputValue.toString();
pattern = Pattern.compile(expression);
this.postalCodeValidationError = !pattern.matcher(value).matches();
} catch (ClassCastException e) {
throw new ValidatorException(
new FacesMessage(
"Validation Error: Value " +
"cannot be converted to String.",
null));
if (this.postalCodeValidationError) {
// Here you do what ever you want when the validation fails
// Like generating an error in JSF ... see ValidatorException
On your JSP page add "validator="#{yourBean.validatePostalCode}"" to your inputText tag.
It would be a good idea to read on Java's regular expression stuff to fihure out the expression you need to pass to Pattern.compile(expression) in order to validate the email address.
Hope this help. Cheers

trying to rent movie from Apple TV. Message states a valid address is necessary to purchase. We have purchased about 15 show in the last month along. Any suggestion on how to update valid email address.

I got the same error and can't get it to work. My email and home address have not changed in the 3 years I've been using this device, my credit card info is up to date and my most recent rental was 2 days ago yet I get the error message on both the Apple TV and in iTunes. I don't understand what the issue is, nothing is invalid.

Any service available on net to check valid email addresses?jwenting, help.

Is there any 100% reliable service available on net to check the valid email address so that the mail should not get bounced back if sent to the email id.
According to jwenting in previous topic, there is one service. Here are his quotes.
Spammers would love to have such a
service. Just send random combinations to that
service at a rate of a hundred thousand a minute and
you have in a few hours a complete list of all
working addresses on the net.
Good enough that you can repeat the process before
every run and you're never getting bounces again.Could anybody explain what is meant by this?

He's saying "No there is no such service". It would provide yet another haven for crappy spammers.

Campaigns - Hard bounces for valid email addresses

I am getting hard bounces with 'Bad Mailbox Destination Address' for valid email addresses that everybody internally and externally can email without problem.
Doesn't instill me with much faith for sending out 10,000 emails next week!

If you can email that address manually from a regular email address and it goes through fine then it's likely you might be getting blocked by spam filters although usually that would be indicated in your bounce message.
Is your site fully hosted on BC (ie - with BC's nameservers) or is your domain hosted via an A record to point to BC? If you are being blocked by spam filters then you are likely using the A record because fully hosted sites on BC have the SPF records in place.
If you are using an A record to point to BC's servers for your domain and manage your DNS records somwehere then you need to add a TXT record with the SPF data. Goto your domain registrar and manage your DNS entries. You'll want to add a TXT record with the following info:
Record name: @
Record type: TXT
Record value: v=spf1 mx include:worldsecuresystems.com ~all
Record TTL: 86400
You can only have one SPF record on your domain so if you already have a TXT record with SPF data in it for other email services your domain uses (like gmail) you just need to update your TXT SPF record and add "include:worldsecuresystems.com" after the first "include" statement in the TXT record the TXT value would look like:
"v=spf1 mx include:_spf.google.com include:worldsecuresystems.com ~all"
If your problem is that your emails are blocked by spam filters that should fix it but I'm pretty sure 'Bad Mailbox Destination Address' usually indicates a non-existent or malformatted username in your email address (ie - the part before the "@"). I would also double check your subscribers list and make sure there are no spaces or any other invalid character in the email addresses for the customers that are getting bounced back.
Here's more information about your specific error from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232118(v=exchg.80).aspx which has to do with MS Exchange server specifically but still provides a good explanation:
5.1.1
Bad destination mailbox address
This failure may be caused by the following conditions:
The recipient e-mail address was entered incorrectly by the sender.
No recipient exists in the destination e-mail system.
The recipient mailbox has been moved and the Microsoft Office Outlook recipient cache on the sender's computer has not updated.
An invalid legacy domain name (DN) exists for the recipient mailbox Active Directory.
This error typically occurs when the sender of the message incorrectly enters the e-mail address of the recipient. The sender should check the recipient's e-mail address and send again. This error can also occur if the recipient e-mail address was correct in the past but has changed or has been removed from the destination e-mail system.
If the sender of the message is in the same Exchange organization as the recipient, and the recipient mailbox still exists, determine whether the recipient mailbox has been relocated to a new e-mail server. If this is the case, Outlook may not have updated the recipient cache correctly. Instruct the sender to remove the recipient address from sender's Outlook recipient cache and then create a new message. Resending the original message will result in the same failure.
Other issues may cause this error, such as an invalid legacy distinguished name (DN) in Active Directory. Examine and correct the legacy DN of the recipient's mailbox. Then instruct the sender to remove the recipient address from sender's Outlook recipient cache and then create a new message. Resending the original message will result in the same failure.

SendFailedException, valid email addresses not sent

Hi all,
I'm using the JavaMail 1.2 API to send email to an SMTP server and I'm having a problem with invalid addresses. I'm using the Transport.sendMessage(Message, Address[]) method. The API docs says, ". Also, if any of the addresses is invalid, a SendFailedException is thrown. Note however, that the message is sent to the valid addresses."
However, if there is an invalid address I get the SendFailedException as expected, but the message is not sent to the valid email addresses.
Has anyone experienced this? Solutions, workarounds?
Thanks,
Derek

Hello Sir,
I am working on an Enterprise Java Bean Application running on J2EE application server..Also using JavaMail API to send Emails through my application.
I am able to send emails successfully through it and sending it into a loop one after the other...
What i am tring to do is, if i encounter an Invalid Email Address the application throws me an SendFailedException and from this SendFailedException i want to catch Invalid Email Addresses... so that i will come to know which emails where sent and which were not...
But the problem is that ,if an Invalid Email Address is encountered and after throwing me an SendFailedException if i try to Catch the Invalid Address ,like
Address[] invalid = sfe.getInvalidAddresses();
and print an SOP after this,
System.out.println("Collected InvalidAddress from SendFailedException...."+invalid);
the SOP prints "Null" ...
The Invalid Email Address is also an well Formed String....e.g... "[email protected]"...
The complete Exception is .....
The exception is javax.mail.SendFailedException: Sending failed; nested exception is: javax.mail.SendFailedException: 554 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: Domain not found
The Code is ..
<Code>
MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(eMess.getEmailSender()));
String to = "";
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,
InternetAddress.parse(to, false));
msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.BCC,
InternetAddress.parse(eMess.getEmailReceiver(), false));
msg.setSubject(eMess.getSubject());
msg.setContent(eMess.getHtmlContents(),"text/plain");
msg.saveChanges();
try {
Transport.send(msg);
System.out.println ("The Email has been sent successfully....");
} catch (javax.mail.SendFailedException sfe) {
System.out.println("The exception in MailHelper is " + sfe);
ArrayList al = new ArrayList();
Collection badAddresses = null;
System.out.println("Collecting InvalidAddress from SendFailedException....");
Address[] invalid = sfe.getInvalidAddresses();
System.out.println("Collected InvalidAddress from SendFailedException...."+invalid);//this SOP is Null....
if (invalid != null) {
System.out.println("Invalid Addresse(s) found......");
if (invalid.length > 0) {
for (int x = 0; x < invalid.length; x++) {
invalidAddresses = invalid[x].toString();
System.out.println("The Invalid Addresses are :"+invalidAddresses);
</Code>
Can anybody help me out with this problem.Any suggestion or code can be greatly appreciated...
Thanks a million is advance...

TS3212 You must enter a valid email address while reviewing new account information

I have just recently set up an iTunes account. When I try to go to the iTunes store I am receiving message that I have not used this ID yet and must review my info. When I go to review my info it keeps telling me I must enter a valid email address. What gives here? Have been trying to get in for 2 hours. Ridiculous!

I think that until that question is answered, we don't know.
If you have been looking at these discussion pages for a while (even though you have only just created an ID for them), you would know that it's the question that needs to be asked.
If you would have had the same problem as the original poster you would know that the question is valid. I have the sam problem and I know that there is no such valid email address that qualifies.
If the (most obvious) answer to your question is yes, what is the contribution of your post to this topic? It would be nice to post the answer to both options. That is if you them.
What you think is the possibility to try to fill the apple id field for two hours and not even by accident fill in a string that is a valid email address. Let me assure you that if someone tries to fill a field for two hours he will try everything that fits. Including an email address.
Luckily I found a solution to this problem elsewhere although I don't know if it can be applied on a Windows machine. The solution I found was this:

I can't set up my email account on my ipod touch. It keeps saying that I have to use a valid email address for this account

I can't set up my email on my ipod touch. It keeps saying I have to use a valid email address for this account. Help!

Hi Annie,
Make sure when you are setting up your e-mail account that you enter in your entire e-mail address. If you have a Yahoo (includes any e-mail account associated with Yahoo), G-mail, or Aol after entering in your password it should automatically set up. Any other e-mail address you will have to manually set the account up.

I restored my ipod touch however the apps will not sync. I tried to re-download but I changed my apple id as my old id is no longer a valid email address. Any ideas out there please

It might be logical to someone, but not to me. I agree it's a pain.
How did you change your Apple ID? Creating a new one is not what you want to do, but if you changed the ID associated with your purchases then that might have worked. You would need to sign in with the Apple ID on both your iPod Touch as well as in iTunes. I'm not sure how you changed it but clearly they need to match.
If it's just your password that is not getting recognized reset it here: http://iforgot.apple.com/
It will send an email confirmation to the email address associated with that Apple ID. The email address you elect to use might not look anything like your Apple ID. If you don't appear to get an email check your spam filter.
