The current implementation of a valid Fully Qualified Domain Name
is not that strict. It just checks whether it has a dot (.) and
if using macOS, it should not end with .local. As per RFC1035[1],
from what I understood, the following checks need to be done:
- The domain must contain atleast one dot
- Each label (separated by dots) must be 1-63 characters long
- Labels must start and end with an alphanumeric character
- Labels can contain alphanumeric characters and hyphens
Here are some examples of valid and invalid labels:
'example.com', # Valid
'sub.example.com', # Valid
'my-domain.org', # Valid
'localhost', # Invalid (no dot)
'MacBook..', # Invalid (double dots)
'-example.com', # Invalid (starts with a hyphen)
'example-.com', # Invalid (ends with a hyphen)
'example..com', # Invalid (double dots)
'example', # Invalid (no TLD)
'example.local', # Invalid on macOS
'valid-domain.co.uk', # Valid
'123.example.com', # Valid
'example.com.', # Invalid (trailing dot)
'toolonglabeltoolonglabeltoolonglabeltoolonglabeltoolonglabeltoolonglabel.com', # Invalid (label > 63 chars)
Due to current implementation, I was not able to send emails from
Ubuntu. Upon debugging, I found that the SMTP domain being passed
to Outlook's servers was not valid.
Net::SMTP=GLOB(0x5db4351225f8)>>> EHLO MacBook..
Net::SMTP=GLOB(0x5db4351225f8)<<< 501 5.5.4 Invalid domain name
Net::SMTP=GLOB(0x5db4351225f8)>>> HELO MacBook..
Notice that an invalid domain name "MacBook.." is sent by git-send-email.
We have a fallback code that checks output from Net::Domain::domainname()
or asking domain method of an Net::SMTP instance to detect a misconfigured
hostname and replace it with fallback "localhost.localdomain", but the
valid_fqdn apparently is failing to say "MacBook.." is not a valid fqdn.
With this patch, the rule used in valid_fqdn is tightened, the beginning
part of the SMTP exchange looked like this:
Net::SMTP=GLOB(0x58c8af71e930)>>> EHLO localhost.localdomain
Net::SMTP=GLOB(0x58c8af71e930)<<< 250-PN4P287CA0064.outlook.office365.com Hello
