Is there a way to force people to submit an email address on a form and not an incomplete email? I tested and was able to submit _name@business_ with no DOTCOM and it accepted it. Thank you.

Hi Neil,

Indeed, we are following the internet standards here, like explained on this thread: [html - Why does HTML5 form-validation allow emails without a dot? - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20573488/why-does-html5-form-validation-allow-emails-without-a-dot)

So technically, an email with a domain name without a dot is correct. In reality, it should happen very very very rarely, but we kept this rule to be sure we’re covering all the cases
