Bug #75080 [NEW]: Email verification failure for php.net mailing list subscription

From: ish at lsl dot digital Operating system: openSUSE Leap 42.3 PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Website problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Email verification failure for php.net mailing list subscription Description: ------------ I tried subscribing to the PHP mailing list at http://php.net/mailing-lists.php. I could not and the page displayed a message saying: « You forgot to specify an email address to be added to the list, or specified an invalid address. Please go back and try again. » I reported the same to php-webmasters. The TLD of my email address is ".digital" which is 8 characters long. As per an answer [1] provided by Andreas Heigl, the email verification on the ML subscription page uses a regex that checks whether the TLD is between 2 to 6 characters long. Andreas proposes a fix [2] by checking the MX record for email verification.
