[jira] [Resolved] (FLEX-34450) mx.validators.EmailValidator does
not accept ".email" domain
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-34450?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
tom chiverton resolved FLEX-34450.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: Apache Flex 4.14.0
The EmailValidator no longer verifies the length of the final part of the domain name. There are upwards of 600 TLDs (including counties) and maintaining a list in in Flex isn't feasible.
The intent of EmailValidator is to capture obviously invalid email address. It's not possible to prove a given email address will work without sending an email to it.
We may consider a full 'strict' validator in future that carries out the full RFC checks, but I expect that will allow some email address' users would assume to be bad.
