A huge prob with email address validation (2 characters extension rejected, then accepted)


Recommended Posts

Hi

 

An urgent help needed.

 

A customer wanted to create an account but he failed because of the error: Invalid e-mail address

His email address has the following format [email protected].xx

 

I tried to open a test account with similar format and i too havent managed to do it, and it seemed to be because of the address extension of 2 characters (system accepted an address of [email protected].xxx format).

 

But suddenly, after few more attempts, the problematic email address has been accepted (???)

 

Now im wondering why the error occured, and will it happen again randomly?

 

Thanks a lot in advance

Hi Mike

 

Thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay.

 

Unfortunately (or should i say fortunately) i myself was trying to recreate the same error by putting (fake) email addresses of the same format, but there is no error anymore.

 

However there was the error, first displayed to the customer himself and then to me for 2 or 3 times when i tried to register his account for him (using his actual email address and even using a random fake address of the same format).

 

I dont know what happened and how serious it still can be, but now it seems to work ok.
