Hi All
At the moment, the Email Validator considers @localhost email addresses to
be invalid, due to the Domain Validator not considering it to be valid.
Initially I thought this was wrong for all cases, so I opened
VALIDATOR-292 and attached a patch that fixed this. However, after a bit
more thinking and some discussions with a friend who also uses the email
validator, I began to think it might need to be configurable. For a
development setup, and possibly also for an intranet setup, you likely do
want @localhost email addresses to be considered valid. You possibly also
want to allow @machinename ones too. However, for a public facing internet
app setup you likely wouldn't want that.
What do people think on this? Should the Email Validator accept @localhost
by default? And if not, what's the best way to allow the user to indicate
that they do want that - another method (eg isValidLocal), overloading (eg
isValid(String, boolean acceptLocal) or something else?
(I'm happy to work up a new patch for whatever is felt best, I just don't
know what that ought to be!)
Thanks
Nick
