Sebb updated VALIDATOR-315:
---------------------------
Priority: Major (was: Critical)
> Email validator does not properly validate symbolic domain names
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: VALIDATOR-315
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-315
> Project: Commons Validator
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0 Release
> Reporter: Christopher Schultz
>
> This returns true:
> EmailValidator.getInstance().isValid("me@at&t.net")
> ...when IMO it should not. If the portion of the address after the @ is
> symbolic, then it should be validated like a host name which may only contain
> [A-Za-z0-9-\.] and has a few other requirements as well (no leading or
> trailing hyphen or empty 'label', max 63 characters per label, max 255
> characters total length).
> I'm less interested in the limits, etc. but an '&' is not valid in a hostname
> and it would be nice to fail under those conditions. Use of IDN should pretty
> much allow any letter or number (\p{Alnum}).
