At Task1,when it is required to raise an error if it is an @teamtreehouse email it passes and at Task2 it doesn't.

"Bummer! Make sure the validator does not allow @teamtreehouse.com email addresses."

myproject/forms.py 
from django import forms
import re

def not_treehouse(email):
    email = email.lower()
    re1='@teamtreehouse.com$'
    if re.search(re1,email):
        raise forms.ValidationError('nex')

class LeadShareForm(forms.Form):
    email = forms.EmailField()
    link = forms.URLField()
    honeypot = forms.CharField(widget=forms.HiddenInput, required=False,
                              validators=[ not_treehouse ])

    def clean_honeypot(self):
        honey = self.cleaned_data['honeypot']
        if len(honey):
            raise forms.ValidationError('Bad robot!')
        return honey

Hi Ovidiu,

Yeah sometimes the error messages aren't that informative. But the reason it is not passing is because the challenge asks you to add the custom validator to the "email" field of LeadShareForm, but you added it to "honeypot".
