I have a list of email addresses*. Some of the addresses in the list 
are not of correct form, meaning they may have a space, extra period 
or other no-no in the address.

Examples:

someDude@gmail..com
my name@my company.com

What's the best way to test and fix the errors in this list?

My plan was to use the regex function in the Satimage addition and 
perform a pattern replace. I would be creating the pattern from 
scratch.

Has anyone gone through and created the most common pattern matches 
they would like to share or have a better solution?

TIA

* addresses are parent email addresses provided to us by them on hard 
copy and then transcribed into a spreadsheet. It's all legit opt-in 
stuff.
