Validation passes for misspelt email addresses. about emailvalidator HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @sammyskills .
While potentially typos, from the perspective of the RFCs those are valid emails.
If you want to test against typos for known email services as part of the validation of the format, you can extend using the EmailValidation interface (check the readme) and implement there your own logic, then using that class as one of the validators as you are doing with the other in the example.

Thanks for the reply @egulias.
But, I'm a bit confused, is the DNSCheckValidation not supposed to catch/check such errors? Like doing something like this:

$validator = new EmailValidator();
var_dump($validator->isValid('[email protected]', new DNSCheckValidation())); // returns bool(true)

One would expect this to return false, or am I missing something?

Hi @sammyskills .
Sadly, yes and no :).
As you might find on other issues for the validator, the DNS check gives some false positives given how DNS report the existence of an email sever behind a given domain.

Have you tried to see what kind of records those domains are returning? For instance: https://who.is/dns/gmaii.com
As you can see it does has an MX record, which will make the validator return true.

Oh, that explains it all.

Thanks @egulias.
