Why do sites say i have invalid email address?

Could be because your email address isn't the standard .com type, and the people that wrote the code that checks the email address didn't account for anything more complex.





Poorly written sites can't handle these kind of address:


my.name@foo.com - the period in the first part


name@foo.co.uk - non .com in the domain


my_name@mail.foo.com - could be the underscore, could be the sub-domain of mail.

Why do sites say i have invalid email address?
sometimes they do that because they just want to..idk why
Reply:are you puting in @yahoo.com, or what ever you have ? maybe you already tried to sign up, but messes up, and they say that email address is invalid, or is bieng used!!! :)
Reply:As it seems that several sites reported your id as invalid, that means you are making some mistake. An valid email id should be like this loginid@serviceprovider, e.g. abc@yahoo.com where abc is your id and yahoo.com is the service provider.

Reply:Pop up blockers and some firewalls can do this. I'm not fluent with computers, but this has happened to me in the past. Check in their individual settings.
