[Zope] Email address validator?

[Bruce Eckel]

Worked like a charm! It turns out I was handing it an invalid
"from" email address.

Which brings up another question -- is there a piece of code that
will validate email addresses somewhere? Seems like it would be a
common tool (I'll bet the spammers have it!).
