I *am* disturbed with CF because this new attribute validation is *breaking* code that worked before in 4.5. This validation is unnecessary and is better to be left for the mail server to handle. It is especially a hassle when you are passing the query parameter to the CFMAIL tag the query contains 6000 records! Now I have to make sure it has no invalid email addresses - it's enough to make you pull your hair out.
