Comment	>> I'm almost positive that this is NOT a valid rfc822 compliant email address: >> >> The spec states that the local-part is: >> >> local-part = word *("." word) ; uninterpreted >> ; case-preserved > > mjr is partially correct about the allowed format, and completely > correct about the fact that the e-mail address provided is incorrect. > > mjr is correct that this e-mail address is not an RFC 822 compliant > address. However, RFC 822 is deprecated - RFC 5322 is controlling > now. The ABNF for the local part is: > > local-part = dot-atom / quoted-string / obs-local-part > > For purposes of this example, dot-atom and obs-local-part (which is > the RFC 822 definition of local-part) are the same. There must be at > least 1 non-dot character before the '@' part of the e-mail address. > So the e-mail address provided is correctly identified as invalid. > > FYI: this would be the correct way to represent that address: > > "c.p.c."@something.com
