Yii 1.x email validator and localhost addresses

Question

Default, build-in Yii e-mail validator fails on e-mails like superuser@localhost -- treats them as not valid.

Is this intentional (reason?) or is it a bug in Yii?

Answer 1

I think for this case, you have to bulid your own pattern.

public function rules() {
        return array(
           array("email","patern","your regex for validation","message" => "Email is not correct")
        )
}
