> We could consider changing the default to `254` characters because it
was changed in [https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5321#section-4.5.3 RFC
5321], but this ticket is about adding `max_length` to the validator, so
it's "wontix" for me.
Mariusz, I checked the RFC5321 and as per my reading, the recommendation
is: for the local part of the email address (before the `@` symbol), no
more than 64 characters long. For the domain part, no more than 255
characters. That adds up to 319 plus the `@` sign, so 320chars as you
already added to the `EmailValidator`. Where is it that the max length was
changed to 254?
