    Hello,
    I'm not able to add a new mailbox with an email address containing a dot before the 'at' symbol. For example, [email protected] .
    "Email address is invalid."
    It is not permited or it is a bug?
    It should be possible in some versions before, because my ISPC contains this.

    you can not use an email-address where the period character (.) is the first or the last char in the local-part.

    THX for reply.
    Oh, I can see now - It's in line with RFC. My client's mailboxes was created a time ago in some earlyer version.
    I am going to try explain my customers that their mailboxes cannot be possible migrated to new server. :(
    Regards,
    Lukas K.

    Thx for your hint.
    Can you "kick me" to let know where i can do it/how-to?
    I can not see this feature in web config panel nor found in manual.

    change interface/web/mail/form/mail_user.tform.php from (~line 96)
    Code:
      'validators' => array (  0 => array ( 'type' => 'ISEMAIL',
      'errmsg'=> 'email_error_isemail'),
        1 => array ( 'type' => 'UNIQUE',
        'errmsg'=> 'email_error_unique'),
      ),
    
    to
    Code:
      'validators' => array (  0 => array ( 'type' => 'ISEMAIL',
      'errmsg'=> 'email_error_isemail'),
      //  1 => array ( 'type' => 'UNIQUE',
      //  'errmsg'=> 'email_error_unique'),
      ),
