Sam RoseEmail addresses are very simple, and you will score highly in this quiz.
marco_m_aus_f@samwho Ugh. The hoops I jumped through to write an Ansible plugin to check the validity of email-adresses. Just to find out that Exchange cannot handle "+" 🙈
Rodirik@marco_m_aus_f @samwho It can, but not by default.

Rho@samwho thanks, I hate it
Melissa BearTrixwell, that show I know jack shit about email ... I know more now ... thank you

IanOB@samwho I scored 10/21 on https://e-mail.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.
togubalol. at the end I had trust issues and marked things as invalid precisely because I thought they should be valid.
loved playing this, thank u for making it :)

a fish named dog ✡️♾️@galactum I did the reverse and if I thought there was no way it was valid I said yeah. 13/21.
Fritz leck Eier 🎗️@samwho Stopped at the first question, which is wrong already. Of course [email protected] is an invalid adress. If you get a mail with an example.com domain part, the sender is fraudulent.
aburka 🫣@samwho lol, in college we had a student group that issued email addresses and I got frustrated that some online businesses like Southwest Airlines would strip the + so I couldn't use the `[email protected]` trick, so I coded up a replacement on our system using `...` instead of `+` as the separator. Didn't know that was invalid and apparently neither did the email clients, servers, or airlines that I tested it with...

Uli Kusterer (Not a kitteh)@uliwitness @samwho well, spec and implementation are two very different beasts
@uliwitness @samwho consecutive dots are invalid according to this quiz
Rasmus Kaj 🎼🦀That's why you can qoute the local part. some [email protected] is not a valid email, but "some one"@example.com is, and would map to use some one (with space, without quotes) on a (reasonably sane) system with spaces in usernames.
Gergely Nagy@samwho 17 is beautiful.
Vivian@samwho 17/21 I feel uncomfortable having learned these facts
Andi Barth@samwho I tend to consdider abc("\n ")[email protected] as valid, and therefore Q14 could be valid if your MTA folds automatically. (Tough then I'm not sure if folding should work within the SMTP dialogue). But I totally could be wrong. And probably should go outside :)
inactive ␇-707570-aurora@samwho it felt like the first question is a trick question because example.com is a reserved domain :D
sodiboo 
@aurora @samwho no? it's registered. look. https://example.com/
it doesn't have a mail server so indeed that address does not refer to a real mailbox, but that.... doesn't affect the validity of the email address? there's no trick question here.

:now: at kubecon!@sodiboo @aurora @samwho well, kinda?
Example.com is a reserved domain for documentation. So its expressly not valid according to the standard, because its not allowed to be used for normal use. It being registered and actually resolvable is an implementation detail of "we want to ensure that noone does domain hijacking or such with it bevause its the default everywhere"

sam@[email protected] @[email protected] My wife asked why I was laughing out loud so much. Saying “email addresses” didn’t really satisfy her as an answer.

Stephen ThorneI should have done a better job of explaining up front which RFCs I referenced for this, and that just because an address parses with some EBNF in an RFC doesn't mean it's going to actually work anywhere.
It's a bit of fun, the score doesn't have any bearing on how spectacular you are at your job. :)
Flipper 🐬🏳️🌈@samwho Well that's embarrassing. I've even implemented an SMTP server from the RFCs before. I got 💩/21

(But I have a slight advantage being a network engineer.)
@LadyLuck1980 @samwho that is absurdly high. Good job (you guessed a bunch, didn't you?)

@samwho I have scored averagely, says the thing
Semitones@samwho for some reason, Ironfox really didn't like this site, but I did! 16/21 on Firefox!
@semitones Likely because it's a new domain. A few of the DNS privacy/security services don't like that (and rightly so), but I am impatient and don't plan ahead.
Lars Immisch@samwho No UUCP bang paths?
Nicolewd@samwho
16/21 .. that's ok for a cursed test..

EndlessMason@samwho It costs less dev time to just send mail to invalid addresses, anybody who doesn't get their confirmation link simply can't confirm their address... it's win/win

@home@lily don't worry, me too. I got cheated out of one point because i know email addresses could be pretty long, i and the example was just a bit longer than what's possible.
