Everyone knows what an email address is, right? (Quiz)
-
Don't be ridiculous, I'm going to use an open source password manager to fill an IPv6 address for my email server into the DoorDash signin page.
I know you're being facetious, but I'm thinking through the implications of someone actually doing this. ISPs aren't always handing out static IPv6 prefixes for some damn reason, so you can't count on that address staying the same when self-hosting. Even if you can, you don't know what will happen when you change ISPs.
So yeah, really bad idea regardless.

Almost correct. ^.+@.+$
Too hard to validate properly to be worth it. Even if it is technically valid that's insufficient. It must also work, and the easiest way to test that is to use it and verify that the user got what we sent.
I see you accept lemmy handles.

Damn, and here I thought I had this locked down because I was salty that so many places struggle with
+in the email addy. But my god, there's comments? -

If qoutes are removed and internal spaces are invalid, how could
":(){␣:|:&␣};:"@example.combe valid?Presumably the space between quotes is "escaped", meaning it's supposed to act like any other character.

":(){␣:|:&␣};:"@example.combe valid?Not too sure, but a previous one says spaces are allowed in comments. I would assume the
{}is similar? -

17/21. Would have been 18 but the first example of spaces screwed me.

I gave up when I got like 5 wrong. I've ran mail servers for decades, most of the invalid "valids" would get rejected by any mailservers I've administered.

I lost it at the fork bomb. I mean I hit valid because there was no way it was on the and not valid, but there's no way i'd have expected that. after that I just kept guessing the most stupid answer and did pretty well

Let us recite the email validator’s oath:
If it has something before the
@, something between the@and the., and something after the., it’s valid enough. -
