Comment (by Jake Howard):
Is it definitely not possible for an SMTP server to not require the
hostname part of an address? I guess since Python's `email` library
rejects it we probably don't have a choice.
Regarding the patch, it seems to only change the exception, rather than
notably change behaviour. Perhaps it's better to wrap the
`AddressHeader.value_parser` call in a `try: except:` and raise a slightly
nicer message. I assume hitting a `ValueError` will just raise a different
exception, rather than notably changing the crashing behaviour?
