I also reached out to them on Twitter but they directed me to this form. I followed up with them on Twitter with what happened in this screenshot but they are now ignoring me.

You’re talking to a bot that has a crappy parser and doesn’t understand what a subdomain is.
This is why you never attempt to validate an email address beyond requiring an @ followed by a period, and send a verification email
Technically you don’t need a period for a valid address. “a@a” is a valid email address.
Not a lot of people sending emails using hostnames nowadays though.
DON’T TELL ME HOW TO ELECTRONIC MY MAIL
I don’t recommend switching the electric switches by hand. Takes hella long.
Could be a Tld without a domain in front.
Can you give an example of that?
Ian Goldberg had an email at a TLD in 2002.
I’ve been working with websites, frontend and backend code for almost 20 years, somehow never knew this was a thing. Weird.
That’s really neat. It of course makes sense because I can’t see any reason why a TLD couldn’t have MX records, but I am surprised that any TLD actually does.
I found an RFC with domains that have MX, A, and/or AAAA records. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7085
Yeah, I’ve noticed that a lot of sites are starting to disallow aliasing with email addresses. So annoying.
laughs in aliased Gmail addresses.

Which is blatant incompetence considering there is a very straightforward RFC covering domain names.
https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1035.txt
I think you intended a different RFC?
Good catch! It is 1034.

Has anyone followed standards properly? There are weird workarounds in Linux’s TCP implementation because they had to do the same non-standard workarounds as BSD which was added since there are too many buggy TCP implementations out there that will break if the RFC is followed to the letter…
It even has ascii-art svgbob would like!
