validating e-mail address

[Keith Mc C]

hello,

i am taking in an email address in from a form on my register.jsp page and need to do some validation on it.
does anybody have experience using the validate() method from the javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress class? how does it work?
or else i might just check that it contains an '@'
would appreciate some suggestions please..

thanks keith.

Why do you think you have to do some validation on it?

to make sure its a valid email address (maybe i can do it later )
