Is there a published specification on e-mail addresses?


I believe it's RFC 822.




The reason I
ask is
that we are using the 'email' validator, and it's accepting as valid
e-mail
addresses such as 'u-+-+%^_/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. I didn't think Validator
would accept these, but apparently is it. If there's not an established
spec for e-mail addresses, then I would assume that anything goes....





I believe that the name part needs to be quoted. However, I believe currently validator will still
count this as a valid email. I haven't gotten around to tweaking the regexp. To handle these cases
the user name pattern/expression will need to increase in complexity by a factor of 3 or so.
How about an option that would allow only struct user names checking,
ie [a-z][A-Z] and '.'. The clunky part is both the client and server versions of the regexp
need to change. I believe I would actually like to make the client side checking more course,
ie allow any email in the form of [EMAIL PROTECTED], then let the java take care of full validation,
what do you think ?




Unfortunately, I think that's a valid email address as defined in the RFC.
