Validate e-mail addresses against RFC 2822 and RFC 3696.
gem 'vjt-email_validator', :git => 'git://github.com/vjt/email_validator'
Standalone:
EmailValidator.valid?(email) # => true or false
Inside an ActiveRecord model:
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base validates :email, :email => true end
Giving ‘:email => true` to the `validate` method uses the following default options. Customize them using `:email => { .. }`; E.g. `:email => {:check_mx => true}`
:message String. A custom error message (default is: "does not appear to be a valid e-mail address") :mx_message String. A custom error message displayed when there is no MX for the given e-mail address (default is: "is not routable") :multiple_message String. A custom error message displayed when one of the e-mail addresses in the record is invalid (default is "appears to contain an invalid e-mail address) :multiple Boolean. Allows multiple email addresses separated by space and/or comma/colon :check_mx Boolean. Check domain for a valid MX record (default is false) :local_length Maximum number of characters allowed in the local part (default is 64) :domain_length Maximum number of characters allowed in the domain part (default is 255)
