Please use a personal email. My email is ‘mail’ @ ‘my actual name’. It does not get more personal than that

But you can’t use emails starting with mail@, admin@, support@, info@, main@, etc.

Instead they advised me (3 times) to create a personal email on a service like Yahoo, Outlook, Gmail, Orange, etc

    Hmm. Why am I mildly surprised that I can’t find anything non-regular about the syntax. There’s nested comments but that’s part of MIME quoting, not the actual address format, so it’s reasonable to not accept those in an HTML entry field because HTML is many things, but not MIME.

        I don’t know why single character email addresses would fail that test, though.

        Could be that they get a huge amounts of bounces from those kinds of addresses. I’m sure at least half of Germany is using a@bc.de as the go-to “I don’t wanna give out my email” address.
