- 77pt77 7y agoThat's why I use "." as the separator. Now try using an email from a domain name with more that 3 letters in the TLD. Almost no one considers that a valid address.
- zigzaggy 7y agoSo if I bought my “name.rocks” I’ll have trouble using that as an email? I was looking forward to “firstname@lastname.rocks” and I never even considered it would be a problem. I’m disappointed
- voltagex_ 7y agoI have something similar - I haven't had many problems with the not being accepted online. The few times I've had issues are with old point-of-sales or appointment booking systems.
- wcip 7y agoI have a .help domain for handing out to services and it works without issue.
- 77pt77 7y agoYes. I'd say way more than half of sites won't accept that as a valid email. And you'll be flagged for fraud as well. It's very frustrating.

- dewey 7y agoI've ran into this issue maybe twice in years and I'm always using that for websites. I'm having a feeling that issue is a bit overblown.
- yabadabadoes 7y agoI just add . in arbitrary places to distinguish sources. Since there's no telling what dots a gmail user thinks are a significant part of their address.. (plus I have seen fail and late enough to be a pain, but due to http parameter escaping, etc, rather than intentional fitering.)
