I would agree that "[email protected]" should fail validation.
But what about "[email protected] " or "[email protected] some text"? An email to "[email protected] " would work just fine. "[email protected] some text" may or may not, I'm not 100% certain how an SMTP server would deal with that. I'd probably want my validation routine to fail that one I think as email addresses with spaces in them are not valid except in the special case of "Bob Smith<[email protected]>". I'm not sure how the isValid routine deals with that special case. If it is allowing "[email protected] some text" to pass validation, I'd report it as a bug.
