Description

Django doesn't validate IP literal email addresses.

May be a pointless patch, but then again, someone may find it useful.

I think before we go down this route we need to determine just how much of the insanely-complex RFC822 address spec we want to support; it's definitely a diminishing-returns problem...

Also, if this is to be dealt with it needs to be dealt with in newforms, so I'm going to change the component.

Erm? Come again?

No offence, but email is KINDA core to alot of applications these days. I've not submitted and tested this patch because I thought it might be nice. It is a bug. Django does not support RFC2822 Addresses. It *should*. That's why RFCs exist. Domain literals, while weird and not really accepted, are a part of industry today, and as such are specified as part of the standard.

e.g. In my case, I am sending email to a network device that does not understand properly (read: it's buggy as hell) the emails it should be receiving.

Incidentally, this is nothing to do with "forms" per se.

It's a model that's actually executing this validator.
