Underscore in domain is accepted about email-validate-hs HOT 5 CLOSED

This is basically the same thing as issue #2; RFC5322 is very loose with regards to domain names. My eventual intention is to add stronger validation for this based upon another package rather than including the code in email-validate, as domain parsing/validation has more widespread usages.

Ok, sounds good. I just wanted to mention it because email-validate was failing the underscore test I developed for an old ruby validator I wrote. I left that test commented out for now.

Thanks! I'll update my tests.

Note this is not yet published to hackage. I'm thinking that it is going to be 3.0 as it breaks compatibility with existing addresses.

Not a problem. I have a tool email-validator that uses email-validate for its syntax checks (which are a huge part of the program). I have no other reason to make a version bump, so I can wait and then update the version bounds to make sure my test suite passes.

On a related note, I also wrote a domain name parser in the meantime for harbl but I never finished the project. It's not dead per se, I just have other things to do... The goal is to parse DNS blacklist names which are essentially domain names. Someday, if I finish it, I can try to split out the domain name parsing into a library.
