extended ascii passed isEmail validation

[born2net]

when using email like aˇol@a.com it passes validation of isEmail
you cannot use extended characters in emails.
even if I enable: allow_utf8_local_part: false
these emails will also pass as valid:

ka25maj@gˇmail.com

has this never been reported?

Hello. I have the same issue here. It seems the validator does not validate on DNS and is not checking if an email is RFC compliant.

Internationalized domain names (IDNs) may accept extended ASCII characters. Setting allow_utf8_local_part to false fixes the first issue, causing aˇol@a.com to fail validation as expected. However, ka25maj@gˇmail.com would still pass as the option only affects the local part of the email.

To address this, I suggest introducing a separate allow_idn option to allow developers to specify whether IDNs are valid for their use case. By default, this should be set to false since IDNs are less common. An alternative solution is adding allow_utf8_domain, but the first solution seems more intuitive.

If the fix is deemed fit, please assign the issue to me.
