What anti-spam measures are you using, and are you sure they are uptodate ?
I installed “Bad Behavior” AFTER this started happening… before that, I honestly do not remember doing anything in the area of comment spam control.
On your plugins screen, you dont have SpamKarma, hashCash, Spaminator .. ?
No, I sure don’t. I did install a few items by Lester “GaMerZ” Chan… I’m wondering if one of them did that. I guess I’ll have to go through and “remove” them to find out. It’s a mystery to me what happened. I installed:

What is the email address? Perhaps the regex is failing.
I have no idea what the problem was. I finally just deleted the entire site and put things back piece-by-piece. I think it was one of the mods listed above that did it, but after reinstalling them from scratch, everything works now. Go figure. Thanks for everyones help.

Can anyone give me a clue here? All of the sudden I’m getting the error “The email address you entered was invalid.” when you try to post comments (logged-in or not). Even when you HAND ENTER an address, you get this error.
It’s driving me nuts trying to figure it out.
