I'd recommend Perl... this is non-trivial

you appear to be assuming that there can be no "@" in the local part and
that there are no comments :-( [and doubtless more nits as well]

RFC(2)822 parsers are far from simple... hence my recommendation of
finding an existing one and calling it from Perl

of course you may be happy with a bodge and some hand-waving assumptions
