Email Format #1289

Expected: DOMAIN must be at least 2 characters long and start and end with alphanumeric characters.

Actual: DOMAIN does not accept a.a, which is 3 characters long and starts and end with alphanumeric characters in accordance with the expectation.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. List (provided the list is not empty)
  2. edit 1 e/test@a.a

Low severity since the email domain is usually not a.a or similar.

Team's Response

The email test@a.a fails validation because the DOMAIN rule in the UG requires it to be at least 2 characters long and start and end with alphanumeric characters. While a.a is 3 characters overall, the top level domain(TLDs), the "a" after "." is only 1 character, violating the intended interpretation of the rule. This behaviour aligns with the UG and practical email validation standards, which assume TLDs are at least 2 characters long. In summary "a.a" is by default an invalid email structure to begin with, and will not be accepted in the system.
