Hi,
In using your Web service, I have noticed it is not possible
to use a name+string pattern for email addresses. Would you
be able to fix it? See details below:
name+string@example.org is a valid email form. For example,
the same user joe could have the following emails reaching the
same mailbox:
joe@example.orgjoe+foo@example.orgjoe+bar@example.org
You may want to check the [rfc5322] for the formal definition of the email syntax. [rfc5322]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.4.1
- The pattern "name+string" is useful for filtering emails from different services in mail clients or on mail servers (procmail for example).
- It becomes easier to block the specific address if the address is being used for another purpose than its original intended purpose.
