Invalid Email Address?

[gutterboy]

Is there any reason why Blesta reports this "pdnfs@7tags.com" as an invalid email address? I am using the API and I got that error on creating a test client.

 

Is it because it's a "disposable email"? If so, is there a setting to allow these as it needs to match up against our main system which currently doesn't check for these type of emails.

that because blesta do a dns query  , if the query failed the email is considerated as invalid .

This, the domain is checked to ensure it's valid (Nice feature in my opinion), this protects against spam and scams too.

Hmmmmmm...... well that domain is valid. http://who.is/whois/7tags.com

Try going to it... I can't get on it nor can Sitemeer.com: http://sitemeer.com/#7tags.com and that is why it's not being accepted.

 

Oops, 7tags.com appears to be down

 

As stated above Blesta does a DNS query (Does it resolve?)

Oh ok - thanks!

Yes , is valid , but there is no A record for it .

this is because is not yet added to a hosting account or is not confugured in a dns server

Hello. i've create a new client with gmail address (on email address).

But blesta said Invalid email address.

if your email adress is new/fresh, you have maybe to wait up to 24 hours for google mail server syncronize between them, or if you are using google with your own domain, you still need to wait for DNS MX records propagation time

It is a good feature for spam prevention. But with some tweaking. 

For my situation, client's server is down ( obviously the domain also down ). Now he comes with us telling his login to blesta not working, seems it is due to the dns query. I tried to reset the password and it failing with "Invalid email address".  So in this condition, it should have except the condition. Since the email address is valid and at the moment domain is down. 

If I am a hosting company (a test scenario ) and using blesta for billing and customer domain suspended due to billing. So in that case customer is in deadlock situation. Since he can't get an option to login to hosting billing login for the payment to bring his domain up. So making adjustments in this feature is a good option.

The client should still be able to log in to the system. Blesta does not validate the user's email address on log in, but only that their username matches.
