Disable valid email format check on registration
 

I'd greatly appreciate any help on this! I'm trying to do a mass import into vB from my existing user database. I've written a script to cycle through them using the datamanager, and all is working fine.

Problem is, when it hits an email that is in an incorrect format (for email, user@hotmail - missing the .com), the whole thing aborts and stops at that user.

There are too many records to fix them by hand, and I can't think of a good way to track them down via an SQL query (as I did for the ones with no email).

Is there a way to disable the check temporarily while I run the import, I'm happy to comment out code etc if it's not in the admin panel.

Thank you!

Why don't you just use ImpEx?

Thanks, but I'm not trying to import another board, but a custom user management system in my own script. I didn't think you could use the Impex to do that? The datamanager is working fine, I just need it to ignore invalid emails.
