Listen, pig-fuckers. + is a valid character in the local-part of an email address.

I’m beyond fed up with this shit:

Oracle Registration violates RFC 5321

Oracle Registration violates RFC 5321

If you’re involved with OpenOffice.org, this is why I haven’t registered your product, even though I recognize that doing so would benefit you by demonstrating the volume of users. I put up with this horse hockey for registrations for something I actually need, but I don’t need to register an Oracle web account: you need me to. So get this fixed or fuck off.

And, just to be clear, RFC 5321 ยง2.3.11 clearly states:

The standard mailbox naming convention is defined to be “local-part@domain”; contemporary usage permits a much broader set of applications than simple “user names”. Consequently, and due to a long history of problems when intermediate hosts have attempted to optimize transport by modifying them, the local-part MUST be interpreted and assigned semantics only by the host specified in the domain part of the address.

By “intermediate hosts” we mean you, web form “developers”.

Knock it the fuck off!
