Answer 1

The following should cover all error messages for Zend_Validate_EmailAddress

$emailValidator = new Zend_Validate_EmailAddress();
$emailValidator->setMessages(
    array(
        Zend_Validate_EmailAddress::INVALID => 'Please enter in a valid email address in the format [email protected]',
        Zend_Validate_EmailAddress::INVALID_FORMAT => 'Error with format',
        Zend_Validate_EmailAddress::INVALID_HOSTNAME => 'Error with hostname',
        Zend_Validate_EmailAddress::INVALID_LOCAL_PART => 'Error with Local Part',
        Zend_Validate_EmailAddress::INVALID_MX_RECORD => 'Error with MX record',
        Zend_Validate_EmailAddress::INVALID_SEGMENT => 'Error with Segment'
    )
);

Try using that and see if those error messages show. Hopefully you can customise those and get the correct validation messages showing.

@Alistair, not work your suggesion here.

// Email
  $email = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('email');

  $notempty = new Zend_Validate_NotEmpty();
  $email_validate = new Zend_Validate_EmailAddress();
  $email_validate->setMessages(
      array(
          Zend_Validate_EmailAddress::INVALID => 'Please enter in a valid email address in the format [email protected]',
          Zend_Validate_EmailAddress::INVALID_FORMAT => 'Error with format',
          Zend_Validate_EmailAddress::INVALID_HOSTNAME => 'Error with hostname',
          Zend_Validate_EmailAddress::INVALID_LOCAL_PART => 'Error with Local Part',
          Zend_Validate_EmailAddress::INVALID_MX_RECORD => 'Error with MX record',
          Zend_Validate_EmailAddress::INVALID_SEGMENT => 'Error with Segment'
      )
  );

  $email->addValidator($notempty , true, $email_validate)
        ->setRequired(false);
  // Submit
  $submit = new Zend_Form_Element_Submit('submit');
