New submission from jpic <j...@yourlabs.org>:
Following up bpo-34155[0] PR#13079[1], which changes:
>>> parseaddr('a@malicious@good')
>From returning:
('', 'a@malicious')
To return:
('', '')
As such, parseaddr behaves more like documented:
email.utils.parseaddr(address)
Parse address – which should be the value of some address-containing field such
as To or Cc – into its constituent realname and email address parts. Returns a
tuple of that information, unless the parse fails, in which case a 2-tuple of
('', '') is returned.
The pull request discussion suggested that it would be good to open a new bpo
to discuss changing the following behaviour:
parseaddr('a@b.')
>From returning:
('', 'a@b.')
To return a tuple of empty strings as well.
We have not found RFC to back up that `a@b.` was not a valid email, however RFC
1034 states that dots separate labels:
When a user needs to type a domain name, the length of each label is
omitted and the labels are separated by dots (".").
As such, my understanding is that a valid domain must not end with a dot.
