I also reached out to them on Twitter but they directed me to this form. I followed up with them on Twitter with what happened in this screenshot but they are now ignoring me.

    The best way to validate an email address is to sent it an email validation link.

    Anything outside of that is a waste of effort.

      That is 100% a chatbot using a regex email validator someone wrote as a meme that the chipotle dev copied from stack overflow without context.

            See, I can understand that people don’t believe alice@only.good.feedback is a valid email address, but .info was one of the earlier TLDs out there…

            Now try to sign up with خالد@الدوحة.قطر (I’m sure that right-to-left override will work great and the database won’t have the email address mirrored at all!). Surely your servers automatically translate IDN domains into Punycode, don’t they?
