>
> The EmailValidator component allows for invalid email address of
> '.@adobe.com' for example. This is the expected behavior.
> "The EmailValidator class validates that a String has a single @ sign, a
> period in the domain name and that the top-level domain suffix has two,
> three, four, or six characters. IP domain names are valid if they are
> enclosed in square brackets. The validator does not check whether the domain
> and user name actually exist. "
> As we can see .@adobe.com still meets all the requirement for our default
> validation. While .@adobe.com is not a valid email address in real world, it
> is valid as far as the program class is concerned
> The problem can be worked around by using regular expression in text field or
> custom validation class.
> ENHANCEMENT REQUEST -
> Although this is the default behavior/expect behavior of the Email Validator
> component, I would like to request that Email Validator be extended to verify
> for valid email addresses.
