Re: E-mail address limitations

If you are trying to use the addresses to send mail over the public Internet, RFC2821 contains the authoritative definition.

Hi,

Can you tell me, or point me to a resource, what the official
specs are for an e-mail address? I would like to know what the
official limitations are if it comes to allowed characters and
maximum address lenght.
I'm sorry to ask this while there probably are RFC's for this
but the whole RFC stuff is a bit of a maze to me. They all
point to different RFC's again and I wasn't able to find one
RFC with the complete official (easy to understand) specs.

I hope you can help me out.

Cheers,

Age Bosma
