Are you looking to check the format of the email or the validity of the address?

There's a regex on my blog post about using REGEX in RPG (https://www.geekyramblings.net/2020/05/16/regex-in-rpg/) that is supposed to validate email addresses ... but I've never used it.

There are also web services available that are supposed to validate email addresses.
