isValid function validating incorrect email address.  I didn't understand which product area i should select and since it was compulsory, I have selected the one I found most appropriate.

This is very common thing and i think every language have this kind of validation but no language makes such mistakes while doing so. If one have to do server side validation manually on platform like CF, its not only annoying but shameful. Its not opensource and freeware language. It should be fixed on priority basis.

Unless I'm missing something, both of those email addresses *are* valid.

What's supposedly wrong with them?

OMG! I am embarrassed. 

I got to learn checking out all the possibilities and the possibility of I might be wrong. The reason I thought these emails are not valid because it emails are invalid because absence of TLD or presence of invalid TLD.

I have also tested for one possibility in PHP language which was showing invalid email.
The PHP code i tested is
<?php
$email = "test@test";
if (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
  $emailErr = "Invalid email format"; 
}
else
{
 $emailErr = "valid";
}

echo $emailErr; 
?>

But after your comment, I searched and found out that I am wrong. I am not sure why PHP gives it invalid email format.

And there is no way to withdraw this bug.

Don't be embarrassed mate: everyone makes mistakes!

PHP is a fairly jerry-built sort of language, so not surprised it doesn't get things right all the time.

Going by the comments below, will be closing this bug.  

test@testdomain and test@testdomain.a are valid email addresses.
