I have a space in my last name - no problems so far.

My email is root@... (thank you Neil Stephenson for the idea) that is rejected sometimes.



What exactly was Stephenson's idea? What am I missing about root@... ?


Probably because some programs filter it out because of the risk of the "root" user such as `root@localhost`
