One of their recent offerings tackled email addresses:

Which of these email address (all fake) is formatted correctly?

f.r.e.d.a.g.g@gmail.com

"Frederick Dagg"@freddagg.com

Fred+sheepdip@freddagg.com

Fred*Dagg=funny@freddagg.com

FredO’Dagg@freddagg.com

Bruce^Bayliss@freddagg.com

Prof~Taihape@freddagg.com

FD{Prof}@freddagg.com

Pa$toral@freddagg.com

The answer is that they are all strictly valid though they might not be useable in practice.
