When using this page they get a "Make sure the form is complete and valid" popup message.

I found another possible case for this problem, and I already solved it.
The Contacts component was giving me the "Please make sure the form is complete and valid" error message, even though the addresses were right. After digging in the code, I found out the validation was failing due to the first level domain was longer than 4 characters.

The regular expression in JosIsValidEmail() (in /includes/joomla.php around line 3930) limits the length to 4 characters in the domain after the "dot" (e.g. user@domain.this). This should be enough for internet domains, but I am using it in an Intranet environment and the domain is longer.

Code: Select all

function JosIsValidEmail( $email ) {
	$valid = preg_match( '/^[\w\.\-]+@\w+[\w\.\-]*?\.\w{1,[b]4[/b]}$/', $email );	
	return $valid;
}

If you change that to the following code, it should work perfectly.

Code: Select all

function JosIsValidEmail( $email ) {
	$valid = preg_match( '/^[\w\.\-]+@\w+[\w\.\-]*?\.\w{1,[b]6[/b]}$/', $email );	
	return $valid;
}

Hope it works, It gave me some headaches for 2 days...

I tried by changing email permission to 6 & then 9 but didn't worked. Any solution? Thanks!!
