my problem out by overriding the email validation and calling
checkdnsrr() instead of gethostbynamel() which is what cake uses.
The problem was due to the domain only having an MX record and no A
record, so gethostbynamel() returned false.
checkdnsrr() only works on linux, which I'm guessing is why it's not
in the cake core.
Having said all of that, it seems that's not the case with
freecitymedia.com. However one thought comes to mind is that maybe
there were network problems at the time or the email address was typed
incorrectly? (eg with a space at the end, etc)
With your zip code validation, I suggest you run through the cake
source code and analyse the regexes to see why it would fail. CakePHP
isn't immune to errors, although it may be a misunderstanding on your
behalf.
Cheers,
Adam
