Validate Email Domain 1.0.1

[Kirby]

Kirby submitted a new resource:

Validate Email Domain - Checks if the domain-part of an email can be found via DNS - if not the email is rejected as invalid

This really simple Add-on checks if the domain-part of an email is "valid", eg. if the domain can be found via DNS - if not the email address is rejected as invalid.

Validation is done via the bundled version of https://github.com/egulias/EmailValidator

Thanks for this, saves me from doing it.

Well ... yahoo.com is a valid domain, isn't it?

Try a nonexistent domain like foo@non-1234-existent-45-domain.com

Nice add-on. Does it check the domain's DNS record for a valid MX record?

I just bought it ! It exists now.

@Unique Username
All the Add-on does is to use the (already bundled) DNSCheckValidation class.

To be honest, I didn't check what validation it does exactly

Presumably it does check MX/A/AAAA.

Ahh I see, I appreciate the reply. And again great work putting it into an add-on

This addon requires PHP 8.1 and PHP Intl?

Thanks! ...and my server logs thank you. XenForo undeliverable emails, including all the continued attempts to re-deliver to non-existent domains will no longer pollute the logs.

Suggestion: Do you think it might be better to do the DNS check after the email input goes from in focus to out of focus rather than waiting to check after the register button is clicked?

Intl is most likely required, PHP 8.1 is not required.

This night be a bit more userfriendly, but unlike the current approach (which is only a really simple extension of existing functionality) it would require quite a bit of new code.
Not sure if I'd be willing to do that

@Kirby the top-level domain check is case sensitive. So example@localhost will fail, but example@lOcalhost will pass the static list check. The DNS check should fail, so it isn't a huge issue.

@Kirby thank you for creating this. Would you consider an update so that we can change the phrase that's displayed with an incorrect email address??

Just translate this phrase: please_enter_valid_email

Just translate this phrase: please_enter_valid_email

That's certainly the easiest option.

If a separate phrase is really required this should be possible as well, but would require quite some changes.

When calling the parent class's isValid method, there appears to be a spelling error in the errorkey parameter, preventing it from returning correctly.

@Kirby can you add support to existent user accounts rather than only new registrations?

 

[bzcomputers]

If you do ever decide to enhance this ...it would be nice to be able to maintain a list of blacklisted domains. I probably get one at least one a week registering from gmaii.com, a valid domain but either just a mistype or intentionally not wanting to give a valid email. I'd like to be able to blacklist it and a few other "valid" domains but often related to fake emails.

I am sorry, but I don't understand your request
If an existing user tries to change his email to a domain that can't be resolved via DNS he should get an error - just like a new user trying to register with such a domain.

If you do ever decide to enhance this ...it would be nice to be able to maintain a list of blacklisted domains.

Unless I am missing smth., this is a standard XenForo feature?

If you want to ban gmaii.com just do that:

I mean if it's possible for you to add an option/task to check all current users and their email addresses rather than only checking new registered users.
