Summary: MediaWiki should do validation of e-mail addresses
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: Email
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: m...@nedworks.org
Currently MediaWiki doesn't seem to verify e-mail addresses entered by users,
seeing as many e-mails get sent with addresses that don't even have an
apostrophe (@). These e-mails go lost or end up in the wrong places without the
user ever receiving a warning, as the mails cannot be bounced either.
MediaWiki should be doing a (better) job at verifying e-mail addresses. Ideally
using a fully RFC2822 address checker with MX record verification, but we could
at least check if the address contains an apostrophe.
