Details

Uses a basic regex pattern to validate email format. This is not exhaustive but catches most common formatting errors. Pattern checks for:

• At least one character before @

• @ symbol

• At least one character after @

• Dot (.) in domain

• At least two characters after final dot

When allow_disp_name = TRUE, also accepts RFC 5322 style addresses like "Display Name email@example.com".
