The failings here only occur when there is DNS issues at example.org / example.com
And looking at the answer section from dig: dig example.org ;; ANSWER SECTION: example.org. 33350 IN A 93.184.216.34 dig example.com ;; ANSWER SECTION: example.com. 86400 IN A 93.184.216.34 They resolve to the same place so using one of the other may not give us peace of mind - we just have to cope with their DNS being down / broken once in a while. The official documentation at https://www.iana.org/domains/reserved mentions that these are the proper domains to use for this purpose, it says: IANA-managed Reserved Domains Certain domains are set aside, and nominally registered to “IANA”, for specific policy or technical purposes. Example domains As described in RFC 2606 and RFC 6761, a number of domains such as example.com and example.org are maintained for documentation purposes. These domains may be used as illustrative examples in documents without prior coordination with us. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

The text "You have successfully [...snip...] processed." was not found anywhere in the text of the current page. I added a breakpoint and took a look at the page. The form does report the attached error, and the content of the form looks okay. The error doesn't indicate which field is the issue either. I tried adding a second institution and selecting that just in case. It didn't change the outcome. Further investigation has tracked this to the anti-spam we use. Turns out the domain 'example.org' may not be the best to test against. On htdocs/lib/antispam/AdvancedSpamTrap.php line 35 we check the validity of the domain name by checking for MX, A, and AAAA records. This was my local results: gold@shipnet:~/Mahara/codereview/test/behat ((baa775acad...)) $ php -a Interactive mode enabled php > $domain = 'example.org'; php > echo (checkdnsrr($domain, 'MX'))?'Y':'N'; N php > echo (checkdnsrr($domain, 'A'))?'Y':'N'; N php > echo (checkdnsrr($domain, 'AAAA'))?'Y':'N'; N php > $domain = 'example.com'; php > echo (checkdnsrr($domain, 'MX'))?'Y':'N'; N php > echo (checkdnsrr($domain, 'A'))?'Y':'N'; Y php > echo (checkdnsrr($domain, 'AAAA'))?'Y':'N'; N php > At this point I would be inclined to be swapping out instances of `example.org` for `example.com` (or at least another domain we can rely on) in the behat tests.
