Hello,

I have an address formatted like this in one of my pages: Tom_O'Shay@foor.bar.org

It is not process by urlfilter.

According to http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3696#page-5, this should be legal.

Without quotes, local-parts may consist of any combination of
   alphabetic characters, digits, or any of the special characters

      ! # $ % & ' * + - / = ?  ^ _ ` . { | } ~

Thanks!

Title: Email with apostrophe not processed » urlfilter does not catch several legal email address formats (local part with ', quoted local part, etc.)
Version: 5.x-dev » 7.x-dev

The issue is more general and still exists in 7.x.

The latest code as of today uses the PHP >5.2 function filter_var() to do the filtering, so I think this may be irrelevant now.

This is indeed fixed by using filter_var().

var_dump(filter_var("foor.bar.org", FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL));

jensen@atlantis:/var/www/drupal/temp$ php email_test.php 
string(23) "Tom_O'Shay@foor.bar.org"

If the email address would be invalid the output would be bool(false)

Please note that PHP's filter_var/FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL does not correctly support the RFC standards, so it is entirely possible to have valid email addresses which fail this test. See #265548: valid_email_address() is not RFC compliant for more info.
