Email address username limits
-
I just got to send someone an email to +@domain.com
So then I did some reading here:
https://help.returnpath.com/hc/en-us/articles/220560587-What-are-the-rules-for-email-address-syntax-The most commonly used special characters are the period (.), underscore(_), hyphen (-) and plus sign (+).So trying that.. I was able to create a mailbox with (-) and (.), however not with (+) or (_).
Furthermore with each of those mailboxes, the aliases seem to have a different set of rules for validation rules. (None of the above seem to work.)
Lastly a mini-bug, when one clicks to add a mailbox the cursor is in the text box, however it doesn't do that with clicking to add an alias (please fix!).
-
Next snafu (bug) is that the (-) mailbox can be deleted, but the (.) doesn't happen with a glitchy [Delete] button.

underscore is allowed from next release. '+' is not allowed because it is used for subaddresses - https://docs.cloudron.io/email/#subaddresses

@girish JUst saw you added the subaddresses feature - great stuff - that's very useful!

Think it's been there for a while.
Perhaps it's just recently been added to the docs, but using + was possible when I first tested Cloudron email (because I used it a lot with Gmail).

Indeed, they were using different validation modules. I have fixed this.

Also fixed.
