When I wrote this program, I hadn't yet gone through your tutorial, so I
didn't know how.  In fact, I didn't know that you could (with RPG).  Also,
the machine this program runs on is not connected to the internet in any
way, so I can't do a lookup.  However, that's definitely a better method
that you describe.

Instead of checking for a number of characters after the @, why
not just check if it's a valid IP address, and if not, do a DNS lookup?
