Overview

Validate fields to look like emails

Is not an exhaustive check but prevents emails that can cause Postfix to crash. Specifically emails with special characters in the local part.

A blank email is considered valid (use presence validator to check for that)

Examples

validates :email, email_format: true                 # optional
validates :email, email_format: true, presence: true # required
