There are some good scripts (JavaScripts) to test it, but it's good to test
on ACTION page too (as some people may want to write a form to include
records in your DB.

A simple check in ASP is
if InStrRev(email, "@") = 0 then   ' NOT if InStrRev(email, "@") 0 then (
the sign "=" )
   ... fail
end if

You can even test if "@" is not the last character...
If right(email,1) = "@"
   ... fail
end if
