libvldmail: Your friendly e-mail address validation library.
« on: February 25, 2018, 03:27 AM »
You know what sucks?
E-mail address standards suck.

Quote
"very.(),:;<>[]\".VERY.\"very@\\ \"very\".unusual"@strange.example.com

Did you know that this is a valid e-mail address? Well, it is. Try to validate that!

Oh, wait, there is a solution for that: My very own e-mail validation library.

Will move away from GitHub some day. For now, it's there. Enjoy.
I bet when Cheetahs race and one of them cheats, the other one goes "Man, you're such a Cheetah!" and they laugh & eat a zebra or whatever.

I merged a pull request today, fixing a few potential crashes.  :Thmbsup:
