Looking at the code, there is no way to configure it.

I'd create my own EmailAddress validator, overriding the isValid() method to 
disable the error messages from the hostname validator.

[fw-general] Is there a way to suppress specific validator error messages?

[Ryan Lange]

My specific concern is with Zend_Validate_EmailAddress and host name
validation. In the case of an input like "exam...@examplecom" (missing
period in the host name), the validator returns 3 distinct error messages.
Zend_Validate_EmailAddress sets its own message for host name validation
failure, but it also pulls in all error messages (in this case, 2) from the
Zend_Validate_Hostname instance it uses.

Now, showing the user 3 error messages that say essentially the same thing
("Your email address appears to be invalid") seems a bit much.

Keep in mind that this is not a question about *customizing* validator
messages. I use Zend_Translate for that purpose, but, in my case, I'm still
left with 3 identical error messages. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way
to simply "throw away" specific error messages. (On a whim, I tried setting
the message templates to NULL, but that just ends up returning an empty
string.)

Thanks in advance,
Ryan
