We are using Mailbee objects version 5.4 and are having problems with email addresses containing apostrophes or leading underscores. They are being reported as invalid.
Examples are:
tim.o'mally@noemail.com
_AnEmail_@noemail.com
Both of these return false from ValidateEmailAddress, but they are valid addresses acceptable to our email server and the recipient's email server.
Does version 8.0 of the Mailbee Objects correct these errors?
Thank you

MailBee v8 treats those addresses as erroneous. If your server policy for email addresses differs from generally recognized one, you'll need to implement your own check for correct addresses. And of course, even that wouldn't give 100% reliable result, the recommended approach is to send mail and track bounce messages.

It isn't just our server policy. These are valid email addresses per the RFC and for the sender, and we can't respond to their emails when using Mailbee if we include the ValidateEmailAddress call.
The senders are large, multi-national corporations and it reflects badly on us when we tell them that we can't handle a perfectly valid email address that they have selected.
I hope that this will be corrected in a future version of Mailbee.

OK, we'll put this onto TODO list.

Try the updated version. If you need just a dll, you can get it from http://www.afterlogic.com/updates/mailbee.zip (or mailbee64.zip for 64-bit version).
