It is valid. Left-hand sides can use double-quotes to expand the
available set of characters.
Valid email addresses (syntactically):
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
"fred bloggs"@example.org
" fred "@example.org
""@example.org
a~`*&^%$#!._-={|}'/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
../etc/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
`cat%20/etc/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
"cat /etc/passwd | Mail -s w00t [EMAIL PROTECTED]"@example.org
And in homage to http://xkcd.com/327/ I offer:
"phil'); DROP TABLE domains; DROP TABLE passwords; --"@example.org
So yes, ${quote_<lookup-type>:<string>} is rather important to use.
Regards,
"X'); DROP TABLE domains; DROP TABLE passwords; --"@spodhuis.org
(yes, that address is valid and reaches me, and not via catchall)
