'Safe'
Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
I went and tested and it works just fine for me -- it may very well be punctuation in the username that sets it off.
We'll need to put that on the list, and hope someone with regex knowhow steps up for it.
tommy -- you have precisely the code that's running here.
I do regex.
The problem's not with regex. The function with the regex test was getting passed the user name, not the user email.
I'll have more details after X-Men is over.

I'll go dig into the code, but since it seems to think "ita" is a valid e-mail address, then we do have a problem with the regex anyway.
So thanks, Gus.
Cool. Point me at it, via the profile addy...
But I can use the form on buffistas.org, but not sql.buffistas.net. Maybe the function is getting passed the email address on buffistas.org.
What gets passed to the validation is "$_user->name <$_user->email>"
The regex is supposed to be able to accept "Jon. B <jonb@whatever.com>" as a valid e-mail address. It is not. However, it likes "ita <ita@wherever.com>" just fine. Which is why the problem is not in what's passed, but in how it's parsed.

It's exactly the same code, tommyrot. What's different is your username, and your e-mail address. Register at .net with tommyrot and see if it works.
eta: I can send e-mail to the admins at .net just fine
The problem looks like when the form loads, the replyto field on the form has a vaule of the user name and the user email address, when it only needs to have the email address. When the user submist the form, both the user name and the user email gets posted to the server, causing the email validity testing function to return false.
That's how I remember it. Why it doesn't fail sometimes, I dunno. In any case, validating against user->email only should do the trick.
OK, I switched the test email.php back to the way it was and added a debugging line. On the broken test version, the testing function is only looking at the user name, not the user name and user email. I don't yet know why.
