Hi Owen,
If I'm not mistaken, "B@M4N"@delong.com is a legitimately formatted
email address which fails part one of your test. Something along the
lines of @delong.com;bob@some.private.network is also supposed to be
legit though it's been so long since I looked at it that I may have
munged the format.
No, I don't allow these in systems I've designed either. Just sayin'.
