Sebb commented on VALIDATOR-376:
--------------------------------
I think this change needs to be documented in changes.xml/ReleaseNotes.
Although it is reverting to previous behaviour it is still a functional change
which could affect some people.
We failed to be explicit about the change previously; we should not repeat the
mistake.
> 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
> Attachments: VALIDATOR-376.patch
>
>
> 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.
