Also check that there is a substring followed by @ followed by another substring to make sure it isnt a nonsense address.

u can either use apache commons validator, there is a EmailValidator.isValid() or GenericValidator.isEmail() it checks for valid domains, valid format of the email ids, etc...chk that out...

I don't know what the GenericValidator does, but the javadoc for EmailValidator says that it will return true on e.g. nobody@noplace.somedog

i dont know how effective the EmailValidator is, but there are methods in it like isValidDomain, isValidUser...and I have seen it work when i tried a sample Shale app which uses the commons validator...the GenericValidator is just a wrapper to the EmailValidator...
