Is there any RFC that says this is an invalid format for email address?
To answer your question...
No.
There is an RFC that says it is perfectly legal, however. Two of them in all likelihood.
822 and 2822.
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html
" addr-spec = local-part "@" domain ; global address
" local-part = word *("." word) ; uninterpreted
" ; case-preservedhttp://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html defers to: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2821.html
" Mailbox = Local-part "@" Domain
" Local-part = Dot-string / Quoted-string
" ; MAY be case-sensitive
" Dot-string = Atom *("." Atom)So yeah, it's legal. And as others have stated, used. And the Thieves don't like it at all. (;-)
