That appears to be an rfc 2822 address. RFC 2821 addresses are more limited in that they can't have comments but still escape special characters. > > that are perfectly valid I think that it's a valid option to consider. What you want to store depends on what you are going to do with the address. If you don't need the comments, storing it as a local part and a domain is probably best. > About the domain literals, I think to validate it in the near future, > rejecting private subnet according to this list: > > 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 > 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 > 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 > 169.254.0.0 -169.254.255.255 That would depend on whether or not sending to those addresses would make sense in your case. > > I think I have to discard also the addresses with last octet equal to 256. Email addresses are in ascii and hence bytes should only contain characters with the codes 0 through 127. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
