A while back there was a discussion about acceptable characters in an email 
address but I cannot remember the definitive answer.

I have a friend with and address beginning with
rus&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
which used to work but now my ISP (Orcon) is bouncing it back with..

   ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<rus>
    (reason: User unknown)

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 5.1.1 <rus>... User unknown

and....

Final-Recipient: RFC822; [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Action: failed
Status: 5.1.1
Diagnostic-Code: X-Unix; 67
Last-Attempt-Date: Tue, 16 May 2006 20:30:24 +1200

Should I suggest that my friends change their address?
