Dear Nathan Sokalski,
Please have a look at Regex (look it up in your docs) and take a look at
http://www.regexlib.com/ (or any other regex website).
Regex is short for 'regular expression' and is a way to test strings to be
in a specific format (eg an emailaddress or postalcode). If you regex
succeeds then your string is in a valid emailaddress format.
About the email address returning the message: there are some third-party
controls/websites that do this for you. For example:
http://www.glocksoft.com/amlv/index.htm However, I don't know how good these
are, but I do know that implementing it by yourself is a lot more work! If
you would like to do it by yourself then you should look into the SMTP.
Hope I helped you,
Michel van den Berg
