[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HV-364) @Email does not fail if tilda (~) or forward slash (/) are in the domain

Hardy Ferentschik commented on HV-364:
--------------------------------------

According to the [rfc 2822|http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html] these are valid email addresses. Or at least '~' and '/' are valid characters. The problem is that many systems implemented a simpler (and in this case non con-formant) email parser. Implementing a email validator is always a trade off. See also this [article|http://www.regular-expressions.info/email.html].

> The following email addresses do not result in constraint validations.  I believe they should
> test@~mydomain.com
> test at mydomain/com
> Looking at the mail specification it does seem to allow these email addresses but they're not compatible with javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress or indeed most email servers.
