Hi people here, i have been using this forum for a long time due a client of mine bought this component, and really was very usefull but sometimes not! so tonight after long long research i was able to do some important thing, as webmaster u may get tired of recieving no good email address like a@b.com or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it etc etc, lots of trash in database and so on, so i custom coded a new validation rule to do that! and im sharing!let start working.

sorry if its long but i meant it for "nothing ever on coding" guys!
1. open ftp log into the your account and go to /public_html/components/com_rsform/controller/validation.php and download the file, once down, open it using some wordpad note pad (i do use notepad++)go to end u may see something like that :
function password($param,$extra=null)
	{
		return true;
	}
?>
Now without erasing the ?> at the end, copy the code bellow and paste it just behind the last } u have.
function nobadmail($email) {
 
list($userName, $mailDomain) = split("@", $email);
 
if (checkdnsrr($mailDomain, "MX"))
return true;
else
return false;

This should now look like this:
function nobadmail($email) {
 
list($userName, $mailDomain) = split("@", $email);
 
if (checkdnsrr($mailDomain, "MX"))
return true;
else
return false;
 
}
?>

Save and upload the file, this may ask u to overwrite the existing file, accept.
Now lets go to component on your joomla installation.
choose the form u want to apply this to, now select the email field and be sure that the name of the textbox is: email ,just like that and in validation rules u should have now the nobadmail option to choose, click on it, set it requiered, save, apply, and go to the form on your site and try something like a@a.com and the Validation Message will appear whenever u tried to send the form until u may tipe a good domain email address.
Hope this helped out it would be good to be implemented in the normal validation of the email.

Thxs:woohoo:
