12/21

are things that are considered out of current spec really "valid" though?

Relevant talk from FOSDEM 2018 (warning: poor audio quality): https://youtu.be/xxX81WmXjPg

I vaguely remember a panel where a guy went through various cases like these.

One of the things that stood out is that not every email provides implements the same specs, so one provider might allow you to set up a "valid" email address that might not be able to communicate with other providers as they consider it "invalid".

Average :/

Jesus effin Christ! I had no idea! This is madness! This is ... Omfg I just can't

I got 13/21. I mean thats not bad 😄

12/21. It was highly entertaining though.

I ~~rage quit~~ gave up at 12.

A fork bomb is apparently a valid email address.

I quit, this is stupid.

If qoutes are removed and internal spaces are invalid, how could ":(){␣:|:&␣};:"@example.com be valid?

I scored 18/21 on https://e-mail.wtf/ and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

Try explaining that last one to someone over the phone

17/21. Would have been 18 but the first example of spaces screwed me.

I scored 16/21 on https://e-mail.wtf/ and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.
