EmailCheckAddress (Function) In french: EmailVérifieAdresse Checks the validity of an email address.
New in version 2025IF EmailCheckAddress("morgan@test.com", emailValidateSyntax) <> emailAddressValid THEN
Error("Please check the email address")
END
SWITCH EmailCheckAddress("azerty@orange.com")
CASE emailAddressValid
Info("Valid address")
CASE emailAddressIncorrectSyntax
Info("The syntax of the address is incorrect.")
CASE emailAddressRefused
Info("The address was refused by the email server." + ...
"ErrorInfo returns the reason for the refusal.")
CASE emailAddressError
Info("An error occurred during the check. " + ...
"ErrorInfo returns the details of the error.")
OTHER CASE
Info("Undefined case")
END
Syntax
<Result> = EmailCheckAddress(<Address> [, <Validation level>])
<Result>: Integer constant Constant used to find out whether the address passed as parameter is valid: | | emailAddressError | An error occurred during the check. ErrorInfo returns the details of the error. | emailAddressIncorrectSyntax | The syntax of address is incorrect. | emailAddressRefused | The address was refused by the email server. ErrorInfo returns the reason for the refusal. | emailAddressValid | The address is valid. This address can be used by EmailSendMessage. |
Note: A waiting time may be required depending on the response time of the server being contacted. <Address>: Character string Email address to check. <Validation level>: Optional integer constant Desired type of validation. You have the ability to use one of the following constants: | | emailValidateByServer | Checks whether the SMTP email server of the domain to which the address belongs accepts the address in input. The syntax of the email address is automatically checked (emailValidateSyntax constant).
| emailValidateSyntax (Default value) | Checks the syntax of the email address. The TLD (Top Level Domain) is not checked. | emailValidateSyntaxStrict | Checks the syntax of the email address as well as the TLD (Top Level Domain) in relation to the list of existing TLDs (see Notes).

Remarks Email address to check - Although email addresses with the format "@[domain name].tld" have a valid syntax according to the RFC822 standard, they are not supported by EmailCheckAddress.
- If the <Validation level> corresponds to the emailValidateSyntax constant, the email address can contain an empty TLD ("doe@domain." for example).
- If the <Validation level> corresponds to the emailValidateByServer or emailValidateSyntaxStrict constant, the email address cannot contain any empty TLD ("vince@domain." for example). In this case, <Result> corresponds to emailAddressIncorrectSyntax.
Server validation: Requirements To use the validation by server (emailValidateByServer constant), the application must be able to contact: - a DNS server (by UDP on port 53),
- the email server of the domain to which the address to check belongs (by TCP, port 25).
Therefore, the firewalls may have to be configured specifically. Attention: In some cases, an e-mail server may accept a non-existent address (for example, when the server is a relay server that doesn't have access to the account list of the domain for which it collects e-mail).. In this case, <Result> will correspond to the emailAddressValid constant even if the address does not exist. Furthermore, the time for retrieving the sever response can be quite long. Remark: The SMTP email server queried is found by the MX (Mail Exchanger) record of the email address domain. List of TLDs used during a string syntactic validation When performing a strict syntactic check (emailValidateSyntaxStrict constant), a list of international and national TLDs is used. The list of TLDs was updated with the official IANA list (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) dated May 2021. Note: Since this update, the available TLDs may have changed.
