Unfortunately not with PHPMailer, which refuses to send emails containing this pattern. I suppose this has something to do with the regular expression used to validate emails, but I might be wrong of course.\r\n\r\nAn example email address that won't work looks like this (I only changed the letters and numbers before the @, the number of letters and numbers and everything else is exactly as in one of the addresses that won't work):\r\n\r\ntry..this..0511@docomo.ne.jp\r\n\r\nBefore I start tracking down the issue and make changes to the core files -- is this a known issue, and if yes is there a simple solution already?\r\n\r\nThanks\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/issues/comments/101221713","html_url":"https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/issues/418#issuecomment-101221713","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/issues/418","id":101221713,"user":{"login":"mr-esj","id":12390209,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/12390209?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/mr-esj","html_url":"https://github.com/mr-esj","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mr-esj/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mr-esj/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mr-esj/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mr-esj/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mr-esj/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mr-esj/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mr-esj/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mr-esj/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mr-esj/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-05-12T10:10:02Z","updated_at":"2015-05-12T10:10:02Z","body":"We are using Google Apps with some of our domains. \r\nAnd in those cases, us.er@mydomain.com is not sent to user@mydomain.com. It's returned immediately, saying that user doesn't exist. Which makes me think that Gmail's way of handling dots is not a universal rule.\r\n"}}
