  • The domain name does not start or end with a dot (e.g.: jsmith@.elcom.com)
  • The domain length is between 3 and 255.
  • Characters used in the domain name are valid (e.g.: jsmith@elcom.co£)
  • User name does not start with a dot (e.g.: .jsmith@elcom.com)
  • User name does not end with a dot (e.g.: jsmith.@elcom.com)
  • User name is checked for invalid characters which include: (“£€)(@][;:><\`¬) (e.g.: jsmi£h@elcom.com)
