Bug #17951

Installation fails/breaks when there is a double dash (--) in the domainname of a machine.
Added by Jan Vansteenkiste almost 8 years ago.

Description
The rake tasks (db:seed) throws a terrible stacktrace with a validation error. After a lot of debugging I narrowed it down to:
Given domainname: foo--bar.example.com
In app/models/setting/general.rb#L8
administrator = "root@#{domain}"
Which is validated by app/validators/email_validator.rb and fails.
Possible solutions are backporting the changes to the email_validator (using the mail gem) or adjusting the beast of a regex to match domain names with double dashes in the name.

Possible solutions are backporting the changes to the email_validator (using the mail gem)
To be clear, this is treated as valid by email_validator in 1.14.0-RC1 and above.
