Ralph Goers commented on VALIDATOR-376:
---------------------------------------
1. IMO the change in VALIDATOR-273 was a functional change and was not
documented. What I am proposing is to revert the default behavior back so
people can upgrade from old releases.
2. I shouldn't have said "mail app". It isn't the mail apps but the smtp
servers that are rejecting the email address. The mail apps do act a bit weird
when this happens - in Mac mail I get a pop up that says the smtp server is
unavailable and it asks me to try another. I know our exchange server is also
refusing it but I don't know how that behaves.
> 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
>
> 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.
