Today I discovered that the option to 'Validate Sender's Email Address' FAILS all addresses ending in .au with an 'undefined error' message.

I consider that the 'Validate Sender's Email Address' option has great value as a possible spam deterrent.

Use tech@annwebdesign.com.au and tech@annwebdesign.com as test addresses and you will be able to reproduce the error each time the .au address is used.

Thanks for a useful module...

Actually, this validation is so limited, and there are many cases where it would not work.

You just happened to stumble on one of them.

I would rather remove this feature altogether than have many people complain about it not working, but it is of use for some out there, and that is why I leave it in.

Understood. No problem at all. That is a (now documented) limitation we can all live with.

Would it be of interest to list the conditions where it does work?

Thank you for your prompt reply... :-)
