Update controller.ext.php

Allow email addresses that include a plus sign for tagging/local filtering.

I have the feeling that it would be more efficient and reliable to use:

static function IsValidEmail($email) {
return filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) !== false;
}

or even to remove completely the function IsValidEmail($email) and to call each time directly filter_var() instead.

Can someone else more accustomed to filter_var() confirm or deny?

Agreed, It should be:

static function IsValidEmail($email) {
    return !!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)
}

Or keep as Is, there are bunch of the issues with email verification. And caveats in each solution but at least this is de facto one.

@Dukecitysolutions - was this ever resolved?
