I would code:

<%
const myco = "@mycompany.com"
dim errmsg

errmsg = ""
if request("email") <> "" then
if lcase(right(request("email"),12)) <> myco then
errmsg = "E-mail doesn't end in " & myco
end if
end if

if errmsg = "" then
' code to send mail goes here
end if
%>

<p class=err><%=errmsg%></p>

where err refers to a style like the following in a
linked style sheet:

..err {font-weight: bold; color: #990000; }
