For Django 1.2 you need to replace

from django.forms.fields import email_re

with

from django.core.validators import email_re

kmike (on March 20, 2012):

A simplier version that allows comma or semicolon-separated emails that can be used directly as "To:" value:

import re
from django.core.validators import validate_email

SEPARATOR_RE = re.compile(r'[,;]+')

def validate_email_list(value):
    emails = SEPARATOR_RE.split(value)
    for email in emails:
        validate_email(email)

I use a mix of both the snippet and Kmike's comment:

import re

from django.core.validators import email_re from django.forms import CharField, Textarea, ValidationError from django.utils.translation import ugettext as _ from django.core.validators import validate_email

class EmailsListField(CharField):

widget = Textarea

def clean(self, value):
    super(EmailsListField, self).clean(value)

    emails = re.compile(r'[^\w\.\-\[email protected]_]+').split(value)

    if not emails:
        raise ValidationError(_(u'Enter at least one e-mail address.'))

    for email in emails:
        validate_email(email)

    return emails

the regex is more permissive, it works with Django 1.3, the logic allows for clear error messages although I don't use any with the validate_email() here one can be inserted.
