E-mail addresses
E-mail addresses can be almost any combination of human names and domain names within the rules of e-mail addresses:
| Address | Purpose |
|---|---|
johndoe@example.com
| a random private person |
janedoe@acme.example
| an employee of company Acme |
Note that .s are usually ignored (i.e.
jane.doe@example.com) and + mail as well
(i.e. janedoe+urgent@example.com) hence both schemes are
allowed.
Generic addresses
Common generic local parts are also allowed. This list is not exhaustive at this point, but here to provide some guidance.
