Sorry, 248 was a typo. If you look at my earlier reply in this thread, I had correctly stated the maximum length of an email address as 254 *characters*. If you check two paragraphs later in the RFC that you linked to, you would see confirmation of this: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321#section-4.5.3.1.3 You may also need to remind yourself what the definition of a path is. As all email headers are either 7 or 8 bit encodings, describing 254 octets as 254 characters is perfectly valid. None of this changes that django keeps shipping with bad defaults. This was brought up for 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and now 1.4. Cheers Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
