As many people may already be aware, correctly validating email addresses can be somewhat of a nightmare. You can search all day long for a C# regex that matches the current RFC standards, and you'll find different regex expressions that give different results.
If you look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Local_part, you'll see that a period at the beginning or end of the local part is not allowed. Two consecutive periods are also not allowed. However, the following NUnit test proves that System.Net.MailMessage allows you to instantiate a MailMessage object for some invalid email address formats.
[Test]
[TestCase(@"foobar@exampleserver")] //technically valid from the wiki article
[TestCase(@"jsmith@[192.168.2.1]")] //technically valid from the wiki article
[TestCase(@"niceandsimple@example.com")] //vanilla email address
[TestCase(@"very.common@example.com")] //also standard
[TestCase(@"a.little.lengthy.but.fine@dept.example.com")] //long with lots of periods
[TestCase(@"disposable.style.email.with+symbol@example.com")] //disposable with the + symbol
[TestCase(@"other.email-with-dash@example.com")] //period and dash in local part
[TestCase(@"user-test-hyphens@example-domain.com")] //lots of hyphens
[TestCase(@"!#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~@example-domain.com")] //all these symbols are allowed in local part
[TestCase(@"ër_%لdev@gكňil.com")] //characters outside the ascii range are permitted
[TestCase(@"""abcdefghixyz""@example.com")] //technically valid
//[TestCase(@"abc.""defghi"".xyz@example.com")] //technically valid, but .NET throws exception
public void CanCreateMailMessageObjectTest(string emailAddress)
{
var mailMessage = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage("noreply@example.com", emailAddress);
}
All of the above test cases pass except the last one.
[Test]
[TestCase(@".test@example.com")] //leading period
[TestCase(@"test.@example.com")] //period at end of local part <---FAIL
[TestCase(@"test..example@example.com")] //double period in local part <---FAIL
[TestCase(@"foobar@example!#$%^&*()=server.com")] //special characters in domain part
[TestCase(@"Abc.example.com")] //No @ separating local and domain part
[TestCase(@"A@b@c@example.com")] //more than one @ symbol
[TestCase(@"just""not""right@example.com")] //quoted strings must be dot separated
[TestCase(@"a""b(c)d,e:f;g<h>i[j\k]l@example.com")] //special symbols "(),:;<>@[\] not inside quotes
[TestCase(@"[test@example.com")] //leading special symbol in local part
[TestCase(@"this is""not\allowed@example.com")] //spaces not in quotes
[TestCase(@"this\ still\""not\\allowed@example.com")] //backslashes not in quotes
[ExpectedException(typeof (System.FormatException))]
public void CannotCreateMailMessageObjectTest(string emailAddress)
{
var mailMessage = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage("noreply@example.com", emailAddress);
}
Why on earth do test.@example.com and test..example@example.com fail to throw a System.FormatException? Who is wrong here, Microsoft or Wikipedia? Are there any email addresses that are grandfathered in to allow trailing period or double period? Should my validation allow them? I have the proper exception handling in place to allow my email delivery service to carry on about its day if an exception occurs, but I'd like to throw out email addresses that are either invalid or guaranteed to throw an exception.
回答1:
There's no explanation of why, but MSDN's docs on System.Net.Mail.MailAddress calls out that this address format is supported:
The MailAddress class supports the following mail address formats:
...
- Consecutive and trailing dots in user names. For example, user...name..@host.
So it's not a bug in the MailAddress class - that form is explicitly supported. But I don't know what the reason is for supporting them. I'd assume that maybe some systems actually accept them, and MS feels the need to support that scenario.
On the other hand, while I can understand the need to provide some validation of email addresses, my personal opinion is that there's little need to be super strict in the validation. The system needs to handle bad, but syntactically valid, addresses anyway. On the other other hand, it seems like a doubled period or period at the end of the local-part might be a common typo, so I can understand why you might want them to fail validation.
回答2:
Well, since the RFCs define the Standard, it would be Microsoft's implementation that's incorrect.
If you want to do better validation, try the validator I posted in this answer to the question C# Email Address validation.
It should properly (and strictly) validate pretty much any "normal" email address of the format local-part@domain that you might encounter, though it won't deal with the new non-ASCII style stuff that's allowed. I don't guarantee that a little bit rot hasn't set in since its a few years old and the email RFCs have been updated since I wrote it.
The local-part must be unquoted: it doesn't support quoted local-parts, or quoted labels.
As far as the domain portion goes, my validator doesn't support IPv4 or IPv6 literals (though it wouldn't be difficult to add that).
If you want to allow any/all RFC-compliant addresses, it gets much more difficult.
