I’m sorry. I should have asked, “Does EmailValidator provide a way to validate 
an email address has a valid form for use on the public Internet?”

 

The latest update to EmailValidator now reports some email addresses as valid, 
such as, user@gmail, that were previously reported as invalid. If I understand 
correctly, email addresses in this form are not valid for use on the public 
Internet even if the part after ‘@’ is a valid top-level domain.

email addresses

 

How could it possibly do that?

 

Or to put it another way "[email protected]" is valid (RFC wise) without even the top 
level rule.  Does

any validator check that it is a real email address?
