That won't accept dozens of different types of email addresses. It won't even match some value domains. Valid email addresses can contain virtually any character in the local part (although in the main they will require being inside quotation marks), and the @ symbol is included in that!

I did a quick search of the archives and found a couple elaborate things.. but I'm looking for something simple. This job will have trusted users and the checker is more to help them catch mistakes when registering.
