EmailStatus isEmail(Char)(const(Char)[] email, CheckDns checkDNS = CheckDns.no, EmailStatusCode errorLevel = EmailStatusCode.none);
  Check that an email address conforms to RFCs 5321, 5322 and others.

  As of Version 3.0, we are now distinguishing clearly between a Mailbox as defined by RFC 5321 and an addr-spec as defined by RFC 5322. Depending on the context, either can be regarded as a valid email address. The RFC 5321 Mailbox specification is more restrictive (comments, white space and obsolete forms are not allowed).

  Note:
  The DNS check is currently not implemented.

  Parameters:

  email | The email address to check
  checkDNS | If CheckDns.yes then a DNS check for MX records will be made
  errorLevel | Determines the boundary between valid and invalid addresses. Status codes above this number will be returned as-is, status codes below will be returned as EmailStatusCode.valid. Thus the calling program can simply look for EmailStatusCode.valid if it is only interested in whether an address is valid or not. The errorLevel will determine how "picky" isEmail() is about the address. If omitted or passed as EmailStatusCode.none then isEmail() will not perform any finer grained error checking and an address is either considered valid or not. Email status code will either be EmailStatusCode.valid or EmailStatusCode.error.

  Returns:
  an EmailStatus, indicating the status of the email address.

enum CheckDns;
  Enum for indicating if the isEmail function should perform a DNS check or not.

  no
    Does not perform DNS checking

  yes
    Performs DNS checking

struct EmailStatus;
  This struct represents the status of an email address

  @property bool valid();
    Indicates if the email address is valid or not.

  @property string localPart();
    The local part of the email address, that is, the part before the @ sign.

  @property string domainPart();
    The domain part of the email address, that is, the part after the @ sign.

  @property EmailStatusCode statusCode();
    The email status code

  @property string status();
    Returns a describing string of the status code

  string toString();
    Returns a textual representation of the email status

string statusCodeDescription(EmailStatusCode statusCode);
  Returns a describing string of the given status code

enum EmailStatusCode;
  An email status code, indicating if an email address is valid or not. If it is invalid it also indicates why.

  validCategory
    Address is valid

  dnsWarning
    Address is valid but a DNS check was not successful

  rfc5321
    Address is valid for SMTP but has unusual elements

  cFoldingWhitespace

  rfc5322
    The address is only valid according to the broad definition of RFC 5322. It is otherwise invalid

  any
    All finer grained error checking is turned on. Address containing errors or warnings is considered invalid. A specific email status code will be returned indicating the error/warning of the address.

  none
    Address is either considered valid or not, no finer grained error checking is performed. Returned email status code will be either Error or Valid.

  warning
    Address containing warnings is considered valid, that is, any status code below 16 is considered valid.

  error
    Address is invalid for any purpose

  valid
    Address is valid
