Request to Validate e-mail address Valid?

I received a request via e-mail from NI Community to click on a link to validate my e-mail. Given we have been cyber attacked, phished, etc. several times the link looked suspicious. Is NI Community sending out requests for validation of e-mail addresses or is this another potential cyber attack attempt? I can send a copy of the e-mail to NI if you can provide me with an e-mail address.

Class for e-mail addresses

I am looking for a class to validate e-mail addresses. I am quite sure that such a class should exist, but I could not find one.
Ewout

and what if someone wants to put in his address but makes a typo which results in another, but valid, address?
You'd never catch that.
The only way to go is to try to send a message to that address and wait for a reply confirming the validity of the address.
That does of course require a conscious action from the owner of that address, which is both good and bad.
It might deter some people from giving you their address, but also prevents pranksters from signing up others to your service who don't want to be signed up.
If you're thinking of making a filter which validates email addresses harvested from usenet to improve the quality of the database of your spam generator that's of course not the way to go.

When I enter a group name into the Bcc field and try to send the message, I get "[group name] is not a valid e-mail address..."

Been using the same template to send a weekly newsletter for a year or two but now with a recent update to Thunderbird the group name is rejected when I try to send the message:
With a group name in Bcc field, when I press "Send" and try to send the message, I get this alert: "[group name] is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail."

This has been reported as [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1060901 Bug #1060901]. If you have an account on Bugzilla, please consider voting for that issue.
Several other people have sent in the same support request as you, noting this happened after they upgraded to version 31.1.
The exact error message is: XXXX is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail.
'''This happens in Thunderbird 31.1.0 when your mailing list description includes several words separated by spaces.'''
Although not ideal, these workarounds should let you use your mailing lists until a proper fix is implemented:
* While composing an email open the address book and select the list you are trying to send to, highlight all the names in the list and drag them to the To: box. This uses your existing data without modifying it.
* Replacing the blanks " " between the words in such lists' descriptions with an underscore "_". This requires modifying your mailing list(s) description(s).
* Downgrade to a previous version and disable automatic updates (Windows)

Regular expression to validate mail addresses

I�m trying to create a regular expression able to validate mail address in a JFormattedTextField.
I�m using the format defined in the java.util.regex.Pattern class.
my current guess:
"[[[a-zA-Z]+[0-9]*_*]+@[[a-zA-Z]+[0-9]*_*]+;]+"

Have a look here:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/releases/1.4regex/
There's an example mail validation program (not complete)

Validate 2 E-mail address fields in insert record form

Hello,
I have used the Insert Record Form Wizard to create a form, including using the Validate Form Server Behavior to validate many fields.
I can't figure out how to compare & validate 2 E-mail address fields.
After the form was created I opened the existing Validate Form Server Behavior - Advanced tab and built the condition {sub_email2} != {sub_email} but this had no affect on submitting the form.
The other thing I tried was creating a new Compare Transaction Field behavior with the same condition {sub_email2} != {sub_email}, this also seemed to have no affect.
I am just a beginner, so I admit to not really knowing what I'm doing, for me ADDT has been a great aid.
The other thing I noticed, when I tried both the items above, besides not affecting being able to submit the form with different E-mail addresses. The red asterisks indicating a required field, would disappear.
Here is the form http://www.oescahealthregistry.org/forms/pedigree_submission.php this version of the form does NOT include either of my attempts to validate the E-mail fields.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Dennis

Hi,
A compare statement should work fine. As an example I made small form that inserts name and email (2 fields) using Insert record wizard.
Name field is required, email field is required and checks that its a valid email structure ([email protected]). I then finish the wizard.
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="<?php echo KT_escapeAttribute($row_rsemail['email']); ?>" size="32" />
<?php echo $tNGs->displayFieldHint("email");?> <?php echo $tNGs->displayFieldError("email", "email"); ?>
I then add the extra field to the form that the 2nd email will be entered into, this one I called email2, I then copied the display hint and fielderror code from the first email and placed it behind the 2nd email box and changed the text to reflect email2. Which probably doesnt matter but I put it there anyway.
<input name="email2" type="text" id="email2" size="32" />
<?php echo $tNGs->displayFieldHint("email2");?> <?php echo $tNGs->displayFieldError("email2", "email2"); ?>
Now that I have both email fields in the form, I go to the developer tools under server behavior and select compare transactions fields under form validation.
I hit the + to add a field I then choose email for field, then == for condition, then {POST.email2} for compare to. I enter in an error message and hit ok.
Thats it the form is ready.
The first email field will check against email validation and the 2nd email will check against the first email.
I hope that helps.
Take note that the database actually only has 2 fields to enter data. Then 2nd email field is only for validation.

Server 4.0.3 - user aliases no longer valid e-mail addresses

Until recently I was running a server with Mavericks 10.9.5 and OS X Server 31.2. I recently upgraded it to Yosemite (10.10.2) and OS X Server 4.0.3. After the upgrade I see a significant behaviour change in the mail server.
In my original setup I had several users who had some 'aliases' (also known as 'Short Names' in Workgroup Manager) defined for them. Under Server 3.1.2 these aliases were treated as valid (alternate) e-mail address. For example, if the user 'abcd' with primary e-mail address '[email protected]' had the aliases a1 and a2 defined then mail sent to [email protected] and [email protected] would be delivered to that user. Under server 4.0.3 this behaviour seems to have changed and it no longer treats the aliases as alternate e-mail address; mail sent to them is rejected with 'user unknown'. Alternate e-mail addresses now need to be specifically assigned via Server.app/Users or Workgroup Manager.
I am surprised (though I probably should not be) that there is such a significant change in functionality without any warning; does anyone know if this is intentional or a bug? I have worked around it by adding the alternate e-mailaddresses explicitly (luckily only a few users were affected or this could have been a huge job). Of course, the issue was not noticed until a couple of days after the upgrade so for sure some legitimate mail has been lost :-(
Thoughts or comments anyone? Should I log a bug on this?

Hi Chris,
I think I found a way to create e-mail aliases on the newest OS X Server 4.0.3. Actually, two ways. In the end it doesn't work, but maybe it gives you or people on the forum clues on how to set it up properly.
You can either go to the Mail service, double-click on your domain, add a new e-mail address for the same member multiple times, editing the e-mail address on the right side:
Or you can open the user from Users accounts and add an extra e-mail address in the Email Addresses box:
Since I know Postfix is behind the OS X Server Mail feature, I looked for Postfix configuration files. Both ways of adding aliases as shown above will add entries to the Postfix "/Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix/virtual_users" file. The file now looks like this:
# greengaroo.biz
[email protected] pleblanc
[email protected] pleblanc
[email protected] pleblanc
Of course I restarted the Mail service, and I checked the date of the "virtual_users" file and the "virtual_users.db" file, both were freshly updated.
Still, it doesn't work. If I send an e-mail from my Gmail account to either alias, I get the following in the SMTP Log:
Feb 13 23:47:33 x.x.x postfix/smtpd[8219]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail-ie0-f172.google.com[209.85.223.172]: 450 4.7.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: Service is unavailable; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<mail-ie0-f172.google.com>
But if I send an e-mail to pleblanc AT greengaroo DOT biz, it works. I googled more and many people have similar problems since Mavericks. Maybe it's a bug?
Anyone else has an idea?
EDIT: While I was writing and formatting this post, I suddenly received the e-mails I was expecting for one of my aliases... I will do more tests to make. I don't know what else I did that would have fixed the problem, or maybe it just took some time for the configuration to be applied, I don't know.

Validity period on e-mail addresses

Hello,
I have several e-mail address entries on an account, even though the e-mail address is the same. It seems like the system creates new entries when I change the flags "Standard" and "Do not use". I think it is rather confusing to display all entries. Is there a way to only display entries currently valid?

After changing my e-mail address, two iCloud accounts were created, my iphone is unusable due to password requests every few seconds and my account has been blocked. What can I do?

After changing my e-mail address, two iCloud accounts were created, my iphone is unusable due to password requests every few seconds and my iCloud account has been blocked. What can I do?

So, you are saying that you set up a brand new Apple ID and then signed into iCloud with it, correct?
Are you also saying both accounts are disabled for Security reasons? If not, why can't you sign on with the one that is not disabled?

F&G Committee "F&G Committee" is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail.

With this new v.31.1.0, released: September 2, 2014 version of Thunderbird, I can no longer e-mail to a Contact List of addressees, getting the error msg: F&G Committee <"F&G Committee"> is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail. In earlier versions, the individual e-mail addresses in the list (F&G Committee in this case) are automatically put in as the e-mail is sent. Is there a solution to this problem?

I assume you mean using Safari. If you are certain you are typing it in correctly (no extraneous spaces or punctuation), you might try these steps:
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
Clear your browser cache: Settings App > Safari Clear History and then Clear Cookies and Data.
