Replying to [comment:2 Jake Howard]:
> Is it definitely not possible for an SMTP server to not require the
hostname part of an address?
Django specifically supports localpart-only addresses like "webmaster"
which are intended to be delivered to a local mailbox. (Despite Python's
email package marking that form as a header defect.)
But Django doesn't allow invalid addresses like "webmaster@" or "to@" as
reported here.
