Emails with dots does not match

[martindube]

Hi!

The email regex email_expression does not include email addresses with dot in the prefix.

emailRegex = re.compile(r'([A-Za-z0-9]+[.-_])*[A-Za-z0-9]+@[A-Za-z0-9-]+(.[A-Z|a-z]{2,})+', re.VERBOSE) # regex for validating an email format

That is a new pull request for this project but it is limited you can only search domain specific emails for the bulk email....it would have been better if it could be possible to search every single domain present in the url

I use the following regex to also include email addresses with dot in the prefix:

emailRegex = re.compile(r'''
  # Matches emails, example:
  # [email protected]
  # [email protected]
  (
  ([a-zA-Z0-9_.+-]+)  # Username characters: letters, digits, dots, underscores, pluses, hyphens
  @
  ([a-zA-Z0-9-]+      # Domain name part before last dot: letters, digits, hyphens
  (\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*  # Optional middle subdomains: start with a dot, followed by letters, digits, hyphens
  \.[a-zA-Z]{2,})     # Top-level domain: dot followed by two or more letters
  )
''', re.VERBOSE)
