I don't know if we can make the API consistent between parseaddr and the
parsing header value since they are completely different even right now. Like
you already noticed there is no way to register defects and instead parseaddr
returns ('', '') to denote the failure to parse.
About parsing malicious domain, my line of thinking was along the lines of
presenting whatever is there to user of the API, without 'hiding' that
information. It would be harder to figure out the exception if the domain is
missing.
Even though the domain is parsed in the `domain` value, the value itself is
clearly invalid. Any attempt to ever use that Address() will definitely cause
an error (perhaps, there should be a sanity check in SMTP.send_message for
that?).
