It happens sometimes, when I sign up for a forum or a website that I get told my e-mail address is invalid. It looks like this: [email protected].
Is there any reason why this might be considered invalid?

It's probably the underscore before the @ sign. It's not technically invalid, but it's not especially common, and I can easily see that badly written format checkers would flag it as invalid (you're not allowed to have a full stop before the @, so they might generalise that to all punctuation characters).

Some sites limit your use of the free email accounts, because they can be viewed as throwaway accounts. Feb 23, 2012 at 14:35

1@mhoran_psprep: Here in Belgium, I would say the majority uses Hotmail or Gmail. Don't know about other countries. Doesn't seem like a smart move then :) Feb 23, 2012 at 17:17
