Sebb commented on VALIDATOR-267:
--------------------------------
Validator does currently allow user@com.
However comments and folding whitespace are not allowed.
> Email Validator doesn't cope with domain comments, valid user@tld addresses

> Project: Commons Validator
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Chris Wareham
> Priority: Major
>
> The class org.apache.commons.validator.routines.EmailValidator rejects
> certain valid email address constructs. According to RFC2822, domain names
> are allowed to have comments in parentheses, addresses of the form user@tld
> are legal (albeit rare) and folding whitespace is allowed. Examples are as
> follows:
> user@(a domain comment)foo.com"
> user@com
> Test \
> Folding \
> [email protected]
