InternetAddress.parse fails on a valid address
----------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMO-5842
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-5842
Project: Geronimo
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Components: mail
Reporter: Dain Sundstrom
The InternetAddress parser is restricting the local part to not have multiple
dots in a row. Although this may be rfc822 compliant, email address on the
internet can and do have multiple dot in the local part. For example the email
address "[email protected]" was an address at Enron and is included in the
Enron email corpus:
InternetAddress.parse("[email protected]");
Exception in thread "main" javax.mail.internet.AddressException: Invalid local
part ([email protected],2)
