Storing email address with a hyphen before the at symbol fails

[dtgreenwood]

Hi Sugar community!

I've search the bug tracker for any mention of my issue but can't find anything. If it's there but I can't find it let me know.

We are unable to save a lead record with an email address that contains a hyphen('-') before the at symbol('@').

I can modify everything in the database and the system carries on without issue from here.

Has anybody else come across the same issue?

Here's our system setup:

• Operating system type and version - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)
• Sugar version and edition - SugarCRM Community Edition Version 5.2.0e (Build 5626)
• Webserver type and version - Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat)
• PHP version - 5.2.11
• MySQL server version - 5.0.77

I hope that someone can shed some light on this, I'm stumped.

Regards,

Hi everyone, Happy New Year!

I've continued to look for anything related to this issue but am coming up short. I just wanted to bump this issue up again to give it the chance for some more fresh eyes to take a look.

It's a really weird issue and one that I can't see anyone ever having before.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Hello again,

I've searched and search and can not find anyone else with this issue, could someone be kind and test the creation of leads with the following email address to prove that it's just an issue in my installation?

The following email address will fail to add when creating/editing a lead record:

• test--email@testing.com
• testemail-@testing.com

I've found the cause of the problem and it seems to be the regex class variable in the SugarEmailAddress class.
The addAddress() function tries if(preg_match($this->regex, $addr)) { which is stopping the valid email address from being added.

I find it very weird that no one has responded to this thread, it's been here a while now.

Is there anyone out there that could lend some advice on this?

Thanks,
dtgreenwood.
