One of our contacts has a weird, rare email format:
name-@web.de
I did not know, that having a - in front of @ is even possible. It is the correct adress and the adress reaches its owner. Regardless of how clever it is, having such an adress, I do have the problem: I cannot save it in the contact field. An error message: invalid email adress appears.
Does anybody know how to force civicrm to accept the weird email format?

Looks like the email validation inside CiviCRM does not like that pattern. If it is a valid email address that validation would have to be changed. You can do that yourself with a PR (https://docs.civicrm.org/dev/en/latest/core/contributing/) or at least raise it as an issue (https://docs.civicrm.org/dev/en/latest/tools/issue-tracking/#guidelines). Thanks!
