Hi Olaf,

I just noticed that when the domain part of an email contains a hyphen ("-") the registration form returns an error message: "Please check your e-mail and follow the instructions"

I tried a couple of different emails with a hyphen, and got the same error message. So I thought that the check email function might be causing this error.

The pattern that yields the said error is as follows:

myemail@my-site.com (or net or whatever it is).

Could you please check it?

No.

When a visitor tries to register by using his email: someone@some-site.com (a valid email), he fails, because the script issues an error message saying that he should check the email (i.e., there is a problem with the email). But this occurs only when the some-site.com part contains a hyphen "-".

Hi again,

I just checked the user database and saw that the registration is OK. So, it seems that the script issues an error message after updating the database!

I don't have the problem, please post your function that is validating the e-mail address.
