## Some notes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Length limitations are not checked.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Technically a local-part of a Mailbox address is limited to 64 octets
|
||
|
|
or less, see: <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321#section-4.5.3.1.1>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also, domain names are limited to 255 octets, see:
|
||
|
|
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321#section-4.5.3.1.2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And individual labels within a domain name are limited to 63
|
||
|
|
octets or less, see:
|
||
|
|
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1035> section 2.3.4. Size limits
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, RFC-5321 section 4.5.3.1. “Size Limits and Minimums” says:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
“To the maximum extent possible, implementation techniques that impose
|
||
|
|
no limits on the length of these objects should be used.”
