In my book this is fine.... you have a list of specific examples and it is
clear what you are doing. I might go further and make sure that in fact it
is the email which is valid/invalid vs just checking the model (at least in
the case if you are checking what should be invalid data) as another field
could be the invalid one.

I also like shoulda as you get helpers like:

  it { should allow_value('david.n_k...@gmail.com.mx').for(:email) }
  it { should_not allow_value('david nathan kahn at gmail dot
com').for(:email) }
