- eric_h 13y agoAgreed - if it's valid according to the RFC (which it is), it should be accepted.
- killertypo 13y agomore than that, it's a great way to identify who is sharing your data.
- eric_h 13y agoI'd rather draw attention to the RFC. Sites that collect email addresses do, sometimes, reject that +suffix to the left of the @, precisely to avoid that identification. The RFC says the left of the @ is up to the host, more or less, so that's how it should be treated.
