Actually that's what I'm trying to avoid. I want it to fail when there
is no dot in the second half. Currently it seems to be passing emails
like that in my form validation. If my initial pattern was correct, I
suppose it could be a ZAP problem, but it seems more likely the
problem is in my pattern.
