Hi. Can anybody explain why is the e-main address "val@val.a.a.a.a" NOT valid? I've been reading the RFC provided (damn, what a pain!), but the syntax exposed there does not contradict the format of this email address.

You might want to look up Wikipedia on "top level domains" (the interesting info is before the mini-TOC). I did not bother to find out which document specifies the info quoted there but I suspect there is one that is included via reference into RFC2822.
What defines a valid IP address? All the IPs in the range 0-255.0-255.0-255.0-255 ? Is 0.0.0.0 a valid IP address? What about 0.0.0.128 or 255.255.255.0 ?
The problem statement was really clear on what a valid email address looks like, but I think I'm getting wa due to the lack of definition of an IP address.
Thanks.
