Re: validates() in controller doesn't work

No there aren't any errors. I simplyfied the code for testing:
[code]
public function signup() {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$this->User->set($this->data);
if ($this->User->validates('email')) { // this validation does not
work!
$this->Session->setFlash('This is a valid emailaddress.');
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash('This is NOT a valid emailaddress.');
}
}
}
[/code]

If I past 'asdfasdf' in the emailfield, then I get a Flash Message
'This is a valid emailaddress.'....
The system is pretending to test the field, but it returns true
everytime.

Huh, I don't know how to solve this problem. I'm using cakephp 2

Kind regards
