We recently discovered that certain domain names do get rejected at our registrar testing process. The reason is always parsing of the mail address plesk puts in the soa record (RNAME field).
If user puts his email address as [email protected], plesk happily writes name.surname.somedom.ain into the bind zone. Then, when the domain goes through a check at the registrar, their script parses it as [email protected], cannot find the mx for it and reports an error.
Possible solutions:
1. (bad) force the user to enter a mail address without the dot left of @
2. (good) properly escape the dot in the bind zone file as name\.surname.somedom.ain
3. (good) use [email protected] as recommended by rfc2142 paragraph 7 and automatically set up alias for hostmaster to point at that user.
Right now we have to live with first solution ... so when can we expect a fix?
