Doesn't matter... if it's a valid format of email address, then it should be
validated as legit.
I use this:

Haven't had a single complaint.
The only true way to validate an address is for some to open the mail
account, read an email, and then respond. Everything else just prevents
obvious mistakes, dummy address' and typos.
