  • The local part may consist of alphabetic and numeric characters, and the following characters: !, #, $, %, &, ', *, +, -, /, =, ?, ^, _, `, {, |, } and ~, possibly with dot separators (.), inside, but not at the start, end or next to another dot separator.
  • The local part may consist of a quoted string—that is, anything within quotes ("), including spaces.

  • The maximum length of a local part is 64 characters.
