Indeed. This had become practically an FAQ in a Perl context, some years back, and Randal Schwartz had a stock answer for it, with a baroque but RFC-legal address as an example; but for some reason I don't seem to be able to find it again at the moment (perhaps some more-perceptive reader can help me out). However, I'm finding that registrations which demand my email address are typically refusing to accept "+" as part of my address - so, even though *I* could use it, *they* won't. Whether this is deliberate (they worked out that people using "+" are trying to track who they sell the address to), or they're just too badly educated to know what's legal, I can't say. It's irritating, to say the least. -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
