Email address validation in Monitoring and trying to send emails

Hi,

 

Most (not to say all) of our projects are Integration related. And sometimes customers can do things that break it. Although the UI and frontend templates try to ensure proper data consistency, there's the human side of things that will either forget to implement proper validation/sanitation pulling the data in.
Here's the "fun" piece of it https://www.screencast.com/t/pGTGsRKlD7Az

 

That said, would it be possible to:

  • Add a check for invalid emails in Monitoring » Health » User Management
    (for both AccessUser and AccessUserAddresses)
  • Add a validation for proper email address in the methods that send out the emails
    (in our case, because of this we started to have issues in Production trying to send order confirmation emails, that were populated from these address fields)

 

I do understand the overhead for validating data that should never have been this corrupt in the first place; at the same time, likely a good idea to avoid human errors and ensure the methods can be more error-proof.

 

Best Regards,

Nuno Aguiar
