12/21

are things that are considered out of current spec really "valid" though?

I vaguely remember a panel where a guy went through various cases like these.

One of the things that stood out is that not every email provides implements the same specs, so one provider might allow you to set up a "valid" email address that might not be able to communicate with other providers as they consider it "invalid".

A fork bomb is apparently a valid email address.
