Smells like bad regex
the only good regex for email validation
That regex makes me nauseous
Which at its heart. It’s all Regex. It does nothing but cause more problems.
Exactly. After the @ they should just confirm there’s at least one period. The rest is pretty much up in the air.
Even that would be technically incorrect. I believe you could put an A record on a TLD if you wanted. In theory, my email could be
me@example
.Another hole to poke in the single dot regex: I could put in
fake@com.
with a dot trailing after the TLD, which would satisfy “dot after @” but is not an address to my knowledge.The easiest and most correct check: any character, then @, then any other character.
