Validating e-mail addresses with underscores
- Product: Alma
Description
Some of our users have e-mail addresses where you have a hyphen or an underscore directly before the @ character. (Example: john.doe_@mail.org)
These addresses are not accepted. We get an error message "Field Email Address must have a valid form does not match the regex defined in email_regex".
Resolution
Go to Configuration > User Management > Other Settings > email_regex
The out-of-the-box entry is:
(^([0-9a-zA-Z]([-.\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z])*@([0-9a-zA-Z][-\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z]\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,9})$)|\s*
Please replace with:
(^([0-9a-zA-Z](['-.\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z][-\w])*@([0-9a-zA-Z][-.\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z]\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,9})$)|\s*
