Actually ! may appear in an email address when it denotes a UUCP path
(a so-called bang path). Also there may be two (or more?) @ signs.

I also know of addresses like (literally) "*@domain.com".

This makes it even more complicated to define 'valid email address'.

Finally, you haven't spent very much thought on defining the domain
part.

Anybody speak sendmail conf fluently? :)
