--------------------------------------------------------------------
I guess there are two options. When doing a purely lexicographic validity
check of email addresses the Validator needs a list of valid TLDs and a
mechanism to update them. (either all TLDs or specifically the dotlessones:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7085#section-2.3)
When doing network based validation it needs a way to deal with 127.0.53.53
(and similiar?) blacklist answers. In case of @gmail. the MX records are caused
by https://icann.org/namecollision

> Key: VALIDATOR-376
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-376
> Project: Commons Validator
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Routines
> Affects Versions: 1.4.1 Release
> Reporter: Ralph Goers
>
> The VALIDATOR-273 patch causes EmailValidator to allow addresses such as
> x.y@gmail. Unfortunately, this is causing us problems as none of the email
> apps we have tried will actually allow that email address to be sent.
> Although the RFCs may state it is valid, in practice it apparently isn't.
> Some sort of option is needed to allow providing just the domain to fail. As
> a consequence we have had to revert to a prior release of commons-validator.
