I will be the first to admit that I make all kinds of assumptions when seeing an email address from someone. https://beesbuzz.biz/code/439-Falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-email Everyone has an email address Everyone has exactly one email address An email address never changes Whenever an address does change, it’s under that user’s control Whenever an address does change, it’s because the user specifically requested it to happen Whenever an address does change, the old address will continue to work/exist Any one email address refers to only one single person Unique strings of characters all map to different addresses All email is hosted by a centralized system When email is sent to a user at a domain, it is delivered to a server whose address matches that domain When email is sent by a user at a domain, it is sent by a server whose address matches that domain All email comes from a .com, .net, .edu, or .org address You can filter out email based on the TLD or ccTLD from which it originates Having a particular ccTLD means that you prefer to receive communications in that country’s native language (for example, .fr → French) Email addresses only contain letters Email addresses only contain letters and numbers Email addresses only contain letters, numbers, and a handful of common punctuation marks (e.g. ., _, and -) Email addresses will have at least one letter in them An email address like ^_^@example.com or +&#@example.com is invalid Email is a reliable transport Email is an instantaneous transport Emails will be sent within a few minutes of their scheduling Emails will be sent within a few hours of their scheduling Emails will be sent within a few days of their scheduling Emails will be received soon after they’re sent When an email is sent it immediately goes to its destination server If an email bounces, the address is invalid If an email doesn’t bounce, the address is valid An address which is valid will always be valid, and an address which is invalid will always be invalid All email is sent via SMTP over TCP/IP port 25 All email is sent via SMTP over TCP/IP All email is sent via SMTP over IP All email is sent via SMTP All email servers support the various vendor extensions by the current “everyone uses this vendor” vendor (Microsoft, Google, etc.) An email can only have one From: address The Date: header on a message is legitimate The Received: headers will always be no earlier than the Date: header All email clients support HTML attachments All email clients support HTML message bodies All email clients support MIME encoding Email is secure Encrypted email is secure All email is accessed via webmail All email is accessed via webmail or IMAP All email is accessed via webmail, IMAP, or POP3 Nobody uses email anymore
