Category: Core Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Seelenhirt (seelenhirt) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: E-Mail validation according to RFC 2822 Initial Comment: When trying to add a new mail box, Postfix Admin rejects some valid email addresses claiming they are invalid (you can find some examples in [1]). If I correctly understand the code the function in question is check_email in functions.inc.php. The regex checking for validity is too simple to encompass the complex universe of email addresses. I suggest the adaption of said function so it conforms to RFC 2822. Some approaches for an implementation in PHP can be found in this article [2].

Most mail systems would not consider as valid email addresses with most of the special characters in them. Maybe have a 'fully compliant' option that is disabled by default, but I would never use it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=937967&aid=3545169&group_id=191583 |
