I also reached out to them on Twitter but they directed me to this form. I followed up with them on Twitter with what happened in this screenshot but they are now ignoring me.
but they are now ignoring me.
Hmm. Did you try giving them your email address?
Somebody made a shitty regex.
That is 100% a bot, and whoever made the bot just stuck in a custom regex to match “user@sld.tld” instead of using a standardized domain validation lib that actually handles cases like yours correctly.
Edit: the bots are redirecting you to bots are redirecting you to bots. This is not a bug. This is by design.
I work for Chipotle Corporate. Please send me your email address. I’ll make sure it gets fixed.
Nice try I’ve heard that before
There should be an ‘@,’ followed by a domain (name@email.com).
What is your email address?
Smells like bad regex
Exactly. After the @ they should just confirm there’s at least one period. The rest is pretty much up in the air.
Even that would be technically incorrect. I believe you could put an A record on a TLD if you wanted. In theory, my email could be
me@example
.Another hole to poke in the single dot regex: I could put in
fake@com.
with a dot trailing after the TLD, which would satisfy “dot after @” but is not an address to my knowledge.The easiest and most correct check: any character, then @, then any other character.
The best way to validate an email address is to sent it an email validation link.
Anything outside of that is a waste of effort.
That is 100% a chatbot using a regex email validator someone wrote as a meme that the chipotle dev copied from stack overflow without context.
As the owner of a .info domain, I know this pain all too well.
One of the reasons I’ve always avoided .info, nobody seems to believe it’s a real domain
You should put up an informational website to let people know, at https://info.info/
