EmailValidator and ipv4 or ipv6 address

[Ilya Deynega]

Hello, I've encountered a strange behavior of django.core.validators.EmailValidator, isn't it supposed to accept ip address instead of domain? Like user...@1.1.1.1 instead instead of user...@example.com. In fact, if you try to validate ip address as an email domain part validation fails: EmailValidator().validate_domain_part('8.8.8.8') is False. is it an error in validator or am I missing something?

Source code: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/_modules/django/core/validators/

Best regards, Ilya Deynega.

I'd take a look at the tests for the validator to see its expected inputs:
https://github.com/django/django/blob/c60feb6999f83bfd1fdabff01f0dd4a26d72e158/tests/validators/tests.py#L48-L96

By the way, there's a ticket to relax the validation and use whatever HTML5 validation uses:

Thanks for your reply, now it's clear that I've misunderstood the format of an email with ip address instead of domain.

Domains are also mapped to ip only by DNS
