address-rfc2821

Parser for RFC-821/RFC-2821/RFC-5321 (envelope) format email addresses (Mailbox and Path).

This module parses email addresses from the SMTP envelope. These are the portions immediately following the SMTP verbs MAIL FROM: and RCPT TO:. RFC-5321 email addesses look like this:

<>             // null
<Postmaster>
<from@example.com>
<to@example.com>
<dot.atom.string@example.com>
<"quoted string"@example.com>
angle-brackets-optional@example.com

To parse email addresses contained in the message headers (To: From: BCC, CC), look instead at an RFC 2822/5322 parser such as address-rfc2822 or email-addresses.

Installation

npm install address-rfc2821

Usage

const Address = require('address-rfc2821').Address;

const parsed = new Address('<user@example.com>');

Address Object

The Address object is an interface to reading email addresses passed in at SMTP time. It parses all the formats in RFC-2821 and 2822, as well as UTF8 email addresses according to the RFCs 5890, 5891 and 5892 providing the domain in punycode when encountered It also supports correctly escaping email addresses.

API

Create a new address object for user@host

Creates a new address object by parsing the email address. Will throw an exception if the address cannot be parsed.

Access the local part of the email address

Access the domain part of the email address, decoded if necessary to punycode

Access the domain part of the email address, unencoded and case preserved

Provides the email address in the appropriate <user@host> format. And deals correctly with the null sender and local names.

If use_punycode = true, uses address.host instead of address.original_host.

Same as format().

Provides the email address in 'user@host' format.

If use_punycode = true, uses address.host instead of address.original_host.
