in thread On Validating Email Addresses

Like ...name@web.de which looks cool with certain short names, but which is also rejected by many mailing programs.
If you can point out to me a big-market mailer that rejects valid RFC2822 addresses, I'd be thankful. I know that SMTP (RFC 2821) handles everything that RFC2822 can dish out, and that all popular Unix MTAs handle 2822 addresses.

So far, the only problem I've seen with "unusual" addresses are with overzealous web forms.

    I just tried the address, with MS Outlook Express and it worked, I asked the person what programs caused the problem. If she remembers, I'll post it here.
