    Fails for when there is no TLD. Just send an email and validate a response eg from a link.

      No. The number of users who have a real email with no TLD is far less than the number of users who will accidentally type an email with no TLD if you don’t validate on the front end.

      I’m here to help 99.9% of users sign up correctly, not to be completely spec-compliant for the 0.1% who think they’re special.

        Guess my mail@IPv6 won’t be accepted because I was too poor to pay for a domain name after having paid for a static IPv6.
