Email aaa@@@@bbb.com is valid

[miroslavhajek]

        $builder = new ValidatorBuilder();
        $validator = $builder->getValidator();

        $inputData = [
            'email' => 'aaa@@@@bbb.com',
        ];

        $val = new Collection([
            'email' => [
                new Email(),
            ],
        ]);

Is valid.... Problem is in Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\EmailValidator::validate on line 81. Expected message is Array[email]: This value is not a valid email address. (code bd79c0ab-ddba-46cc-a703-a7a4b08de310).

Thanks for reporting this error. In the past we've tried several times to improve the email validator. This is the latest attempt: #18177 But for different reasons, we never implement those changes.

Are you sure that this address is valid? Even the egulias/email-validator library seems to consider it invalid.

Indeed, this is not a valid email address.

Note that if you don't run the email validation in strict mode, this will indeed not be detected as invalid, but this is expected. When not using the strict validation, lots of invalid emails will go undetected (this is why we use a dedicated library in strict mode)
