User Admin: mail address check too rigid?

Post by MatsWolpers »

i am playing with TL 1.9.0 in xampp.
i notice that i am not allowed to create users with mail address user@myServer.local even though myServer.local is a valid dns entry and responds to ping. i can, however, make a mail address entry for user@myServer.net, even though this is not a valid dns name and unresponsive to ping.

why is that, please?

valid or invalid email address has nothing to do with DNS entry and ping.
We are using email checking provided by EXT-JS framework
You can find more info about why an email is valid or not doing some search on Internet to found :
