Well to reproduce most of that would perhaps be fairly easy, most of it
is regex stuff.
There may be trouble with the checkdnsrr() stuff though, which is for
checking that the domain exists. I wouldn't imagine there would be
anything like that for JS... Perhaps there is...
You could always do an AJAX request :)

Not following the usual coding style I know but I can't bring myself
to touch it... You'd better not touch it either, Rob: That means you.

I'm impressed.
The php routine passed a@xxxxx (which is real), but failed a@xxxxx (which is
not real).
What's needed is a javascript routine to do the same thing, but it would
require a trip to the server to check the domain. As such, I would use AJAX
to trigger this php routine to provide validation -- that might prove
interesting, huh? Apparent real-time validation -- hmmm, I'm going to think
about that.
The php routine also passed tedd@xxxxxxxxxxx, which is real -- but it's
interesting that most email (if not all) programs cannot show the domain name
correctly, which is tedd@*.com. I have yet to find an email program that can
show IDNS correctly.
Cheers,
tedd
