Civi email address format exception request
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

@SHust noticed that Civi CID51532370 yields an error message: Email is not valid when trying update the email address. The only difference I can see between the existing address and what the donor has asked us to replace it with is that the former has _o_ and the latter has -o-

If the validation rules for email addresses can be modified to accommodate this, that would be great.

Zendesk #965271 is the ticket related to this.

Thanks @SHust - fun fact it turns out that weird email address is a converted form of an email address with other-alphabet-characters. The actual email they use is probably just something with non-latin characters in it

@Eileenmcnaughton - Awesome fun fact, thanks for sharing!
