You might be able to do something like this:

Perfect.

Slight modification to prevent commas, semicolons, and colons, since I got another Chinese bot this morning trying to register with the email "liantianha,ofangjiancong@gmail.com":

PHP Code:

$this->validfields['email'][VF_CODE] = '
    $max_chars = array("." => 1, "," => 0,  ";" => 0, ":" => 0);
    if ($retval = $dm->verify_useremail($data))
    {
        $parts = explode("@", $data);
        if (is_array($parts))
        {
           foreach($max_chars AS $char => $max)
           {
               if (substr_count($parts[0], $char) > $max)
               {
                      $dm->error("bademail");
                      $retval = false;
                      break;
               }
           }
        }
    }
    return $retval;
';
