Email address validation -- Help plz

I'm trying to validate set of email addresses from database and generate report on invalid email addresses
I was able to validate if there is any syntax error in email address string.
But I need to validate even the domain whether it exists or not.
Can any one of you help me out in this regard.

You're going to need to parse the address enough to extract the domain name.
Then you can use the java.net.InetAddress class to see if that's a valid host name.
But of course that still doesn't tell you if the email address is actually valid.
See the JavaMail FAQ.

Help needed in email address validation !

Hi all,
I am developing a web page in which there is a text box and a submit buttion. User enters his email id and clicks the button. As soon as the button is clicked, the email- address validation should be done.
some thing like,
only one @ shold be there,
the address should terminate with .net, .com, .org.....
there should not be any special characters like / , ?, < > \ etc..;
It should be in JSP or JAVA Script
Can anyone help me ????

function validateEmail(email) {
    // A very simple email validation checking.
    // you can add more complex email checking if it helps
    var splitted = email.match("^(.+)@(.+)$");
    if(splitted == null) {
        return false;
    if(splitted[1] != null ) {
        var regexp_user=/^\"?[\w-_\.\']*\"?$/;
        if(splitted[1].match(regexp_user) == null) {
                return false;
    if(splitted[2] != null) {
        var regexp_domain=/^[\w-\.]*\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/;
        if(splitted[2].match(regexp_domain) == null) {
            var regexp_ip =/^\[\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\]$/;
            if(splitted[2].match(regexp_ip) == null) {
                    return false;
        }// if

You need to either reset the rescue email address's password(check the site's help for instructions) or ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

I keep trying to reset an icloud account that is disabled because I forgot the password but is not able too. I tried changing it but there seem to be some mix up in the icloud ID and the gmail email address. HELP PLEASE!!

I keep trying to reset an icloud account that is disabled because I forgot the password but is not able too. I tried changing it but there seem to be some mix up in the icloud ID and the gmail email address. HELP PLEASE!!

Your password was sent to your emergency email address. Perhaps you have an email you never use? I use the free email from my cable TV account as my emergency email.
Your Apple account and cloud account are separate. You could even have completely different user and password. Most of us use the same user ID and password, but they are not the same thing, don't mix them up.
If you can't retrieve emergency email, you will have to call apple support.

EMail Address Validation - Shell Script

Hi,
I have a custom concurrent program (Shell Script Program). One of the input parameter is Email address.
In my code, I need to validate email address format (Ex: [email protected])
Can anyone paste the code snippet.
I have tried with the below validation
case $EMAIL_ID in
*@?*.?*) echo "Email Address Validated.";;
*) echo "Invalid Email Address. Please enter the correct format of email address and re-run the program";
exit 1;;
esac
This validation is failing in this scenario xxx,[email protected] / xxx [email protected] (If user enters the email address with comma or a blank space. This validation is returning success message)
Regards
BS

Please look up the syntax for this by typing
man mailx
on the shell command prompt.

Email address validation pattern

First off, I'm using JDK 1.4.2_07. What I'm trying to do is validate email addresses with the String.matches(String pattern) function. What I'm having a problem with is coming up with the regex pattern that represents any syntactically valid email address. If someone has a regex pattern that does represent any syntactically valid email address, I would appreciate it if you posted it in a reply to this message. Thanks!

This does not validate .museum tld's, nor email addresses with RFC822/5322 valid characters like ~, #, & and so on.
With other words, come up with better suggestions, kid.

Email address validation, is there a way to use Regex or other fuzzy searching?

I would like to use PL/SQL for Email address validation, is there a way to use Regex (regular expressions) or some other fuzzy searching for that? Using % and _ wildcards only take you so far...
I need something that will verify alphanumeric charectors (no ",'.:#@&*^ etc.) any ideas?
Current code:
if email not like '_%@_%.__%' or email like '%@%@%' or email like '% %' or email like '%"%' or email like '%''%' or email like '%
%' then
The last line is to make sure there are no linebreaks in the middle of the email address, is there a better way to signify a line break, like \n or an ascii equivilent?

Michael:
The as noted in the previous post, DBI is a Perl package that allows Perl to talk to various databases, including Oracle. We use DBI on several UNIX servers, and it does not require ODBC, and I have always found it to be extremely quick. Things may be different in the Windows world.
If you are spooling files out to run through Perl anyway, you may want to take a look at DBI. You could probably modify your existing scripts to use DBI fairly easily. The basic structure using DBI is like:
use DBI;
my dbh;       # A database handle
my sth;       # A statment handle
my sqlstr;    # SQL statement
my db_vars;   # Variables for your db columns
# Connect to the database
$dbh = DBI->connect( "dbi:Oracle:service_name","user/password");
$sqlstr = 'SELECT * FROM emp WHERE id = ?' # even takes bind variables
#Prepare statement
$sth = $dbh->prepare($sqlstr);
$sth->execute(12345); # Execute with values for bind if desired
# Walk the "cursor"
while (($db_vars) = $sth->fetchrow_array()) {

BP Email Address validation

Hi,
Is there anyway to turn off email address validation which occurs when creating Business partner.
For example, abc.com@acb is an invalid email id and the system doesnt allow to save BP. But i want to save the BP even though email id is invalid.
Thanks,
Karthik.

Hi Kartik,
Only way to remove validation is to change the standard code.Go to program LSZA0F33 and comment FM

Won't let me change my Apple ID email address please help

Won't let me change my Apple ID email address please help I have signed out of iCloud and iTunes. I really need to change the email address as the 1 that is currently

What happens when you try to change the email address ? You should be able to edit your primary email address (as long as it's not an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address) by logging into the account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or by logging into on http://appleid.apple.com

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

Apple email address validation

Since upgrading to iCloud, I am now regularly being told that I do not have a valid primary email address.
This pretty much happens every time I try and purchase something though iTunes or the app store. It directs me to the account section, where I find no primary email address. So far I have tried
1. Selecting the @mac.com address and hitting the make primary button. (This updates it occasionally)
2. Adding a separate email address, making it primary and validating, then re adding my @mac email address and making it primary.
it works for a couple of days, then I get the warning again when I am trying to upgrade an app, buy an app, buy some music or do anything with my online account.
I am getting fairly annoyed with it now. Is this a regular problem, or am I just 'lucky'.
What an I do to stop this happening? All help appreciated.

HI,
I relented and tried it.
I could add an email or at least start the process.
On Adding it it said it was sending the email. Initially I spelt the email wrong and it said it was sent but nothing arrived.
Once I sorted that It did send an email which had Verify Link which then wanted me to enter my Apple ID (it was an Apple Page) and password.
That page accepted it but Messages still showed the Greyed Out email with no Enabled tick saying Waiting to Verify and Details.
This time the Details option would not let me remove the email from Messages.
Visiting the Apple ID web site and logging in showed bit the misspelt ones and the one I was trying to add which did say it was verified.
On the iPhone it did wait until I opened the screen but then I got he Pop ups.
It tried to add the one I have had an issue with for sometime (Again) I said no to Adding it.
Then the new email popped up and I said No to that as well.
On then checking the Messages Settings both had in fact been added.
I then removed the Emails from the Apple ID page and it then was removed from the iMessages account in the Mac version.
