Comment on This a valid email address: t AT lk.

Comments

Last week I got into a discussion with a client over email validation rules; they wanted "contains an '@' and a '.'". Even after explaining that the '.' was optional they insisted n these rules.

Which made be wonder just how many problems will be seen once companies can use vanity top level domains; if I buy the "doug" TLD how long before I give up on lost email and switch from me@doug back to me@doug.com?
