Description

From one of our (Wireless Toronto) users:

I just tried to create an account at https://auth.wirelesstoronto.ca/, but your sign-up form handler incorrectly determined my email address to be invalid.

I suspect that you're using a too-restrictive formula for determining valid characters; I've seen this before, where sites block use od the plus character ("+").

Can you fix this please? I'd like to sign up, and possibly get involved in other ways.

For reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mail_address#Plus_.28or_Minus.29_addressing
