Edit your "includes/common-validator.php" file.<br /> Search around line 210 and you'll find this:</p> <pre><code>$regex = &#39;/^[A-z0-9][\w.-]*@[A-z0-9][\w\-\.]*\.[A-z0-9]{2,6}$/&#39;;</code></pre> <p>replace it with this one:</p> <pre><code>$regex = &#39;/^[A-z0-9][\+\/\w.-]*@[A-z0-9][\w\-\.]*\.[A-z0-9]{2,6}$/&#39;;</code></pre> <p>That should pass the "+" and "/" characters. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/this-field-is-not-in-the-correct-email-format#post-8189 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 22:10:32 +0000 ThomasK 8189@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>test+test@test.com<br /> This field is not in the correct email format.</p> <p>Well i thought the adress was wrong too, but then i looked it up:<br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address</a><br /> "Conversely, many websites make the mistake of checking email addresses too strictly, rejecting addresses containing perfectly valid characters like + or / signs."</p> <p>Regards </p>
