#9316 closed enhancement (fixed)

More robust is_email() and sanitize_email() functions

Description

Attached patch includes robust and filterable is_email() and sanitize_email() functions.

These functions split up the validation into distinct stages rather than trying to use a single PCRE function. The reason for failure is made available via the filters.

Also included in is_email() is an optional DNS check (where supported by PHP).

Although not quite RFC compliant, it addresses most of the issues in #4616, and also allows easier filtering for those who want to implement RFC compliance via plugins.
