19853	EmailField default max_length led to errors	arnaud@…	nobody	"Hi,

I'm currently running a web application with Django 1.4.3 using django.contrib.auth app for users registration and django social auth to work with Facebook connect.

Since few days, I got errors when some users are registering because their email adress is more than the 75 default characters of the built-in EmailField.
After some research, I found this RFC (http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=3696&eid=1690) which say that an email can be up to 256 characters (64 for the local part and the rest for the domain).

These users are registered but the email field is empty..

Does the default max_length for the User model or EmailField should be updated?

Thanks for your help."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	contrib.auth	1.4	Normal	duplicate			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
