Jochen Wiedmann commented on VALIDATOR-376: ------------------------------------------- Ralph: I am suggesting that we verify the domain *if the user requests it*. That covers the "expensive" parts, IMO. > EmailValidator says addresses such as x.y@gmail are valid although most mail > apps will fail to send it > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: VALIDATOR-376 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-376 > Project: Commons Validator > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Routines > Affects Versions: 1.4.1 Release > Reporter: Ralph Goers > > The VALIDATOR-273 patch causes EmailValidator to allow addresses such as > x.y@gmail. Unfortunately, this is causing us problems as none of the email > apps we have tried will actually allow that email address to be sent. > Although the RFCs may state it is valid, in practice it apparently isn't. > Some sort of option is needed to allow providing just the domain to fail. As > a consequence we have had to revert to a prior release of commons-validator. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
