Description:
------------
script returns true when validating an (wrong) email but that's not the expected result. after the last period there should be max 4 letters valid(.mobi, .info, .name).

Test script:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(Validate::email('iam.someone@example.commmmasd'));
?>

Expected result:
----------------
false

Actual result:
--------------
true

TLDs are regularly added, so if anyone 'fixes' this, it should be considered temporary.

Note: there are two 6-letter TLDs: 'travel' and 'museum'

@ash:

I wasn't aware of 6 letter long domains when i have posted this. Good point - my fault.

@david:

that would be perfect! :)
