Outcome

Degree of email validation, in light of validation levels in place on Oriel

Background

TIS had many email address that were considered to be invalid, in most cases due to additional whitespace but also some records had multiple email addresses concatenated together in a way that was not supported.

...

This relaxation could come in the form of a simplified validity check, or reducing the validation from hard error to soft warning. However, as we have identified no real world examples that of active email addresses which fall outside of our validation we do not feel this change needs to be made immediately. Instead it has been documented here for future reference.
