From http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3696 (see also http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6531)

Without quotes, local-parts may consist of any combination of alphabetic characters, digits, or any of the special characters

! # $ % & ' * + - / = ?  ^ _ ` . { | } ~

period (".") may also appear, but may not be used to start or end the local part, nor may two or more consecutive periods appear. Stated differently, any ASCII graphic (printing) character other than the at-sign ("@"), backslash, double quote, comma, or square brackets may appear without quoting. If any of that list of excluded characters are to appear, they must be quoted. Forms such as

 [email protected]

 customer/[email protected]

[email protected]

 !def!xyz%[email protected]

[email protected]

are valid and are seen fairly regularly, but any of the characters listed above are permitted. In the context of local parts, apostrophe ("'") and acute accent ("`") are ordinary characters, not quoting characters. Some of the characters listed above are used in conventions about routing or other types of special handling by some receiving hosts. But, since there is no way to know whether the remote host is using those conventions or just treating these characters as normal text, sending programs (and programs evaluating address validity) must simply accept the strings and pass them on.

Are you having trouble with an address failing validation preventing you from signing up? PM me if that's the case!

Right now our approach is to ensure the address is [email protected], then shoot off an email for verification.

Hmm. I didn't receive a verification email; after submitting I saw only the "Thank you for signing up!" page.

I use a similar address format to the OP; [email protected]

The verification email is only sent if the address was not yet in our system.

If you saw the "Thank You" msg then you're all set.
