You're talking to a bot that has a crappy parser and doesn't understand what a subdomain is.

    This is why you never attempt to validate an email address beyond requiring an @ followed by a period, and send a verification email

    Technically you don't need a period for a valid address. "a@a" is a valid email address.

    Could be a Tld without a domain in front.

    Which is blatant incompetence considering there is a very straightforward RFC covering domain names.

    Has anyone followed standards properly? There are weird workarounds in Linux's TCP implementation because they had to do the same non-standard workarounds as BSD which was added since there are too many buggy TCP implementations out there that will break if the RFC is followed to the letter...
