Comment on I'm locked out of my 6 year old Chipotle account because they now say my email address is invalid when I login. Here is me asking for their help:

  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.

      Not a lot of people sending emails using hostnames nowadays though.

        Could be a Tld without a domain in front.

    Yeah, I’ve noticed that a lot of sites are starting to disallow aliasing with email addresses. So annoying.

    laughs in aliased Gmail addresses.

  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…

    I think you intended a different RFC?

      Good catch! It is 1034.
