甲斐@黒川.日本 is a non-RFC 5322-compliant, but still valid, email address.
Unless you're implying that "valid" === RFC 5322-compliant, in which case the example isn't valid ;)
The best way to validate an email address: send an email to that email address containing a confirmation link. Simple, easy.
- rjbond3rd 14y agoAh, understood. I was thinking "valid == well-formed" without knowing whether it really works (i.e., could be deleted), whereas I see you rightfully point out that it more reasonably means "it works." Thank you, makes sense.
