Description Florian Philipp 2007-12-08 19:56:29 UTC
I can't change my e-mail address from f_philipp@fastmail.net to bugzilla@f_philipp.fastmail.net or bugs@f_philipp.fastmail.net or any other address ending with @f_philipp.fastmail.net.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Bugzilla doesn't complain, I just never receive the mail to confirm the change (except of the one sent to my old address).


These addresses are completely valid and work with gentoo mailing lists and other automatic mail sending systems. Only web sites using regular expressions to check new e-mail addresses sometimes have problems with them.

You may send test mails to me. I'll be happy to answer within a day or two.

The secondary MX (in2.smtp.messagingengine.com) is plain broken and using some incredibly stupid Policy Block List (PBL):

451 4.7.1 Service unavailable; Client host [88.100.xxx.xxx] blocked using zen.spamhaus.org

<snip>
This IP range has been identified by Spamhaus as not meeting our policy for IPs which should deliver 'direct-to-mx' mail to PBL users.

I really don't think your MTAs are sane. I managed to send a mail to you after several failed attempts via in1.smtp.messagingengine.com. 

I'd suggest your take your complaint to your email provider.

Thanks, I'll do.

The bugzilla stock regexes were a bit too strict. I added _ in the hostname now. IIRC having _ in the hostname is against RFCs, but is commonly used anyway.
