What is a valid email address?

According to the Internet specification RFC 2822, there are several formats of valid email addresses, like john@host.net, john@[10.0.3.19], "John Gate"@host.net or "John Gate"@[10.0.3.19]. Many email address validators on the Web failed to recognize some of those valid email addresses.

Some examples of invalid email addresses are:

• john@box@host.net - Two at signs (@) are not allowed.
• .john@host.net - Leading dot (.) is not allowed.
• john@-host.net - Leading dash (-) is not allowed in on domain name.
• john@host.web - (web) is not a valid top level domain.
• john@[10.0.3.1999] - Invalid IP address.
