I changed my mail server to accept . instead of +'s so now the emails I generate work through pretty much any validation.

- __david__ 14y agoI've also done that and I've just recently added _ to the mix, which I think is particularly devious and wholeheartedly recommend.
- bigiain 14y agoThese (the dot and underscore separators) are a great solution, because when the spam-happy-marketroids try to get the webdevs to intentionally implement broken email address validation, they can point out all the corporate email addresses which are by-policy of the form "firstname.lastname@domain.tld"…
- fnordfnordfnord 14y agoYeah, so much for RFC2822. Oh well, apparently, some spammers are clever enough to grep the emails with "+" and throw away the obvious additional portion.
