Need Help??

the string contains an @ and at least one dot after that

Even that's not quite right (see how easy this is to get wrong!).

One of the country-code registrars (I forget which now) has addresses at the top-level domain! Like "foo@to" for the ".to" registrar.

So please, don't look for a dot. Stick with the Email::Valid-style validators.
