I won't recommend using this function to validate email addresses on a normal website. The
problem is that in accordance with RFC 3696 (Application Techniques for Checking and Transformation
of Names) the following email addresses would be considered as valid:
customer/department=shipping@example.com
$A12345@example.com
!def!xyz%abc@example.com
_somename@example.com
"Abc@def"@example.com
Hardly something I would accept in a live web app in 2020 :-/
