    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

        And this is exactly why I wouldn’t do my own, I had no idea either of those were legal/possible
