Dear All,

        My requirement is to compare a submitted mail with an email template in C#. Any help must be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

If I understand your requirements what you are going to want to use are RegularExpressions (System.Text.RegularExpressions). There are a lot of examples on how to use RegularExpressions (there is even a RegularExpressionValidator for check controls like TextBoxes -> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa720492%28VS.71%29.aspx which might give you a quick understanding.

Per regular expressions themselves one of my favorite sites is http://www.regular-expressions.info/ because it gives a very nice tutorial. Also, per your req, if you click on "Examples" (on the left) you will see a choice for "Email Addresses" where he explains the good and the bad...

;)

Hope that helps,

 Hi,

   Actually, my requirement is checking the emails to find whether those mails are spam mails or not. The mail checking process will be done by comparing the mails with the email templates, if the mail matches the template its not a spam mail else its a spam mail.

Compare the submitted Email with following RE

\w+([-+.']\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*

Hi, Checking of email address not only enough for testing whether it is a spam mail or not but also need to check the email subject, header,footer and body. Please help on this regard.
