Is there an API or a service program I can use to check just the syntax of
a string to be a valid email address?

While regex is a very nice tool to have in the toolbox, if it's not
already in the toolbox, this is a task that, in my opinion, is not bad
just using RPG's BIFs. I guess it might depend on precisely what you
want to accept as "valid syntax" of an e-mail address, but for basic
"eyeball" tests, %SCAN goes a long way. Maybe throw in %CHECK if
you're so inclined.
