non-"standard" email addresses fail "is email" check

I've had trouble getting addresses through the "is email" check that are non-standard extensions such as .info or .lib.st.us.

Is this a bug or a feature?

A feature. But one that can easily be adjusted (I'll fix it for 4.6). The "@.info" didn't work due to the email verification being a bit outdated and only considering a max of 3 letters at the end (only for the non-ajax submission method, Ajax should've worked fine anyway), to fix look in cforms.php for this function:

function cforms_is_email($string)
{ return eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\\.[a-z]{2,3})$", $string); }

and replace with

function cforms_is_email($string)
{ return eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\\.[a-z]{2,4})$", $string); }

The other email addr "@lib.st.us" should've worked just fine. If it still doesn't for yo, pls post a URL to test.
