 The proxied email addresses Facebook provides via it's API look something
 like this:
 
apps+107627842277.100000147873279.3fbf72360a409641ecb9202d8ac5a...@proxymail.facebook.com

 That's 89 characters long, so it doesn't fit into the 75 characters in
 django.contrib.auth.models.User.email.

 I'd like to suggest increasing that field's max_length to 200.

 The only potential downside is that certain databases (Oracle) limit the
 total potential size of a row. That would only matter if someone heavily
 extended the auth_user table, which is rare. Usually the profile feature
 is used.

 Can anyone see this causing a problem?
