Hi @ip6li

Thank you for raising this concern 🙂 Returning true will completely disable the email validation check. We don't want this.

Could you share the pattern format of the email you have used? FYI, the email functions use the native PHP function filter_var with FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL, as follow ($sEmail, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) to determine if an email is valid or not.
