perl has a mod "email::valid" that claims to do email validation, and it
appears to be fairly complex/lengthy.
i'm considering simply using this in a perl app, that i'd then call from the
php function...
use the best tool for the job in the quickest manner!!!
thoughts....

This will be fun, everybody has their own which is always best. No two
people
will agree what is correct method and will always come with a 'better' one.
This is generally accompanied by derision and ridicule of the others.
To this end, I will start the ball rolling with this one...
preg_match('/^\S+@[\w\d.-]{2,}\.[\w]{2,6}$/iU', $email)
