>>I would assume this is in an RFC somewhere. Anyone know where?
It's in RFC821 (RFC2821, interestingly, doesn't define it properly -- it
refers to an undefined "atext" element, so we have to go to
RFC821). RFC821 allows the "'" (single quote) in the local part, but not a
""" (double quote).

The single quote (tick) technically is allowed in the "local-part" (the
part to the left of the "@" in the E-mail address). However, in this case,
postfix complains (as it should), because the tick is in the domain name,
which isn't legal.
