I recently was reminded of the rabbit hole that is email validation.

Made me think, someone on this subreddit has probably put some homebrew email validations to the test. So I want to know, what is the craziest email address you have/host that either can receive or send email over the public internet, or perhaps managed to sign up to some popular website that does email validation?

Has anyone done something like these examples from the wiki

Like "very.(),:;<>[]\".VERY.\"very@\\ \"very\".unusual"@[IPv6:2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334] ?
