Problem Description:
I have a group of people who cannot register because their (quite valid) email address: somebodysomewhere.info is being rejected as invalid.  

Help appreciated. Any ideas anyone?

Something I remembered because I participated in the original thread:

Good morning, Cerebrus.  I've found a temporary solution for you, as per

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eregi.php

Go into your Sources folder and grab Register.php.

We're going to be focussing on Lines 198 and 199 (Search for "!eregi").

Currently, it's as follows:

if (!eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $member['email']))
     fatal_error("$member[user] $txt[500]");

You may want to try to change the {2,3} to {2,4} to see if that helps.  If not (since it could very well restrict .museum domains), then you may want to take a peek at

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.eregi.php.

I'll be sure to let the Devel team know about this thread, though.

Gulp!

Right, thanks for that.  I'll have a poke in Register.php

Ta!

Also might mess with Profile.php.  This has been fixed in SMF.

Also might mess with Profile.php.

Shouldn't be necessary?

I've just checked an untouched 1.5.4 Profile.php and it's already been fixed exactly as Douglas suggests...
