OpenVPN Support Forum

Hi

I just wanted to create an account here, but the system rejected my email address.
I checked the code and it does not allow "-" in the mail address. (In my case I need it in the domain part, but it should be allowed everywhere.)

Could you please fix that?


Best regards,
Steffen

This problem has NOT been solved in general.

The validation of the e-mail address in the registration form (https://community.openvpn.net/pwm/public/newuser) is buggy. It doesn't accept a minus (-) beeing a part of the domain name. Same with an underscore (_) in the local part. Both are allowed according to RFC 5322 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.4).

Tested a few minutes ago with Chromium and Firefox.
