Comment on Stop validating email addresses with your complex regexparent

Comments

At the risk of sounding like a hyprocrite since I just advocated for minimal validation of emails... that is a nonissue. Nobody actually does that.

Anyway, the regexp I use is /.+@.+\..+/ which supports the address you describe, but (usually) catches the relatively common mistake of user@yahoo,com
