Summary

0004486: Validate the email address of a user/contact

Description

When a new user is created / edited one can enter an invalid email-adress and the system still saves the record.

Steps To Reproduce

General Setup -> Security -> User
Create a new user
Fill in an invalid email-adress: i.e. '0815'
Save the record

Proposed Solution

Implement a validation that at least tries to offer some validation:
- Must have a @ and an . in it

Or implement/use a real email-validation routine:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mail_address [^] has a reference to the relevant RFCs
- Use the commons-validator package as an already available parser:
http://commons.apache.org/validator/apidocs/org/apache/commons/validator/routines/package-summary.html#other.email [^]
