@kytta God, ugh. The number of times my .one throwaway has been rejected because it's...invalid. I had to sign up for a .com with a much longer name to have a "backup" email that will safely work 100% of the places I try to use it. -_- @kytta @kytta It’s almost like they’ve found this old email validation regex from 1995 and thought “eh, good enough”. @kytta It's even funnier that my email roni@dude.fi causes "Did you mean roni@dude.fr". No, I'm Finnish, not French. Finland is a real country, no matter what they say. |
@kytta Possible solution: make all website admins use my library to validate addresses. ;-) https://github.com/dertuxmalwieder/libvldmail
