How to configure email validation

[madflow]

According to the closed issue #382 it is now possible to configure the email adress ("to" part) validation. However I fail how to do that.

As far as I can see the validation is hardcoded here:

   //Swift_Mime_Headers_MailboxHeader::344
    /**
     * Throws an Exception if the address passed does not comply with RFC 2822.
     *
     * @param string $address
     *
     * @throws Swift_RfcComplianceException If invalid.
     */
    private function assertValidAddress($address)
    {
        if (!$this->emailValidator->isValid($address, new RFCValidation())) {
            throw new Swift_RfcComplianceException(
                'Address in mailbox given ['.$address.'] does not comply with RFC 2822, 3.6.2.'
            );
        }
    }

Am I missing something? I understand I can change the validator class by replacing it in the dependency injection - but I do not get how I could configure the validation when doing this.

The same for me. I don't see the way how to configure the validation.

Same here... this does not seem to be very configurable at all right now?

I did a little more searching in the code base: I believe it is save to say that the email validation cannot be extended ("configured") like the author of the library intended: https://github.com/egulias/EmailValidator#how-to-extend

What you can do is something like this:

class MyValidator extends \Egulias\EmailValidator\EmailValidator
{
    public function isValid($email, \Egulias\EmailValidator\Validation\EmailValidation $emailValidation)
    {
       // Ommit the second parameter $emailValidation and do some other magic
        return true;
    }
}

Swift_DependencyContainer::getInstance()
    ->register('email.validator')
    ->asSharedInstanceOf('MyValidator');

I would argue that not the "EmailValidator" but the "EmailValidation" should have been incorporated in the dependency map and the assertValid* methods.

I tinkered with this in my fork https://github.com/madflow/swiftmailer/tree/email_validation and introduced the EmailValidation in the dependency map. Not sure if a PR will make sense.

I want to fetch the email from swiftmailer username from the yaml file using ContainerInterface and set it inside setFrom(). Please share some insight on why getParameter echos the email address but value passed in setFrom() is [*\id]. So, I see an R.F.C error
