There's a growing number of users with addresses ending with .email. Unfortunately, the same issue applies to .email domains.
Regardless, the issue is in the validation end here. There's public lists with valid TLD's and any email address validation should ensure valid email addresses are let through.
- roblabla 5y agowhy would you even try to validate the TLD anyways? Just let it through. If the TLD doesn't exist, it will error out when querying the domain name anyways. Using public TLD lists runs the risk of the list going outdated.
- 2000UltraDeluxe 5y agoWell, I get if you want to verify the submitted data is an actual email address, and checking the TLD is a valid way of doing it. It does seem excessive, though -- as you said, it will bug out on sending the email if it isn't valid.
