My reading of the RFC (a while ago, I can't quote) is that the local part of the name (the bit before the @) is not to be validated by intermediate hosts and can contain more or less anything, although whitespace is not recommended.

I've been unable to give money to one or two companies who's email registration have had this validation bug. Shame.
