InfoPath 2010/2013 Email Validation Field

I wanted to write a post on email validation after numerous searches and some tinkering with validation rules with custom patterns.

So here goes my very first forum post.

Issue: I need an email validation field that will only allow specific email domains from within my organization.

FieldName = email

1. Create a text field

2. Mark as "Cannot be blank"

3. Create validation rule

4. Set Conditions

You will need 4 conditions.

Run rule when this condition is true

"email" "does not match pattern" "Custom pattern .+@+.[A-Za-z].mail.com" and

"email" "does not match pattern" "Custom pattern .+@mail.com " and

"email" "does not match pattern" "Custom pattern .+@.+.[A-Za-z].mail.com " or

"email" "does not match pattern" "Custom pattern .+@.+\..+ "

Select show screen tip and dialog box message

Set an informative Screen Tip and examples in your Dialog box.

This solution will allow for multiple domain levels below a single domain of "mail.com"
