      And this right here is a great example of why simple basic RegEx is rarely adequate

      At the very least, should be something like

      ^[^@\s]+@([^@\s.]+\.)+[^@\s.]+$

      I’m like 99% sure I missed at least a few cases there, and will say “please don’t use this for anything production”

        Here’s two: you can have multiple @s forming relays in an email address, and you can also break all the rules around dots and spaces if you put quotes around the local part, eg ".sarah.."@emails.com
