Email Validation Rules

There's no mention of minumum email length length, but I have noticed that some services do not accept email addresses like m(@)dy.fi or m(@)x.com etc. They claim that address is too short. Strip parenthesis from addresses.

Minimum should be 6: [email protected]

Max is 254: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/386294/what-is-the-maximu...

Strictly speaking, the minimum should be 4, because TLDs could accept email too (resulting in a@ca).

Fair enough. Does this exist in the wild though? Thx
