Sorry, meant to attach the relevant bits...
email address = localpart @ domain.
localpart can be any number of atext chars, plus a '.' anywhere byt the
first character.
domain follows the same basic rules as the localpart, except that you can
add text before it, '<>' around it, etc.

I'm having some ongoing discussions with two ISPs, our mail server, and a
couple of users over an email address.
Is the ampersand a valid character in an email address?
It looks like the answer is YES for the local part and NO for the domain
name.
What do you think?
Well, here we get about 20 times that volume, so it's not surprising
that we see the occasional FP. As a rule they're because of
misconfigured or broken email systems at the sender's end.
Like most systems ours breaks spam into 'possible/suspect' and
'definatly spam' - we have only about 20 of t
