You can modify the configuration of email address pattern(it is a regular 
expression)
in WEB-INF/config/jos.xml:

    <entry key="email.address.pattern">
        <![CDATA[\w+([-+.]\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*]]>
    </entry>

yes, that's what i thought too... and mailAddres.matches(cdatastring) returns 
true as
well, but it didn't work.

now i replaced the \w with [A-Za-z0-9] and replaced the \. as well

thanks for the fast reply

the problem is the newlines between entry tag and cdata
writing it in one line, without spaces between, solves the problem:

<entry
key="email.address.pattern"><![CDATA[\w+([-+.]\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*
]]></entry>
