RFC5321 email address handling library

MailAddress

Introduction

MailAddress is an MIT-licensed package for handling RFC5321 email addresses.

It contains the following features:

• MailAddress contains the struct definition along with utility functions to encode, query or update the struct.

• MailAddress.Parser is a (slightly) configurable parser, which understands most of the RFC5321 address format (currently missing are general address literals, IPv4 and IPv6 literals are now supported).

Note that this package doesn't deal with UTF8, punycode etc, and attempting to feed UTF8 characters outside the 32..126 range to the various functions will result in errors.

Installation

To use the package, add :mail_address as a dependency to your mix.exs file:

defp deps do
  [
    {:mail_address, "~> 1.0"}
  ]
end

After running mix deps.get the library should be fetched and available for use.
