Remarks

It is the addr-spec RFC 5321 permits — 64 octets of local part, an at-sign, and 255 of domain. A longer one is refused where the request is built rather than dropped from it, which is the opposite of what a received message's participants get: dropping an address there costs a filter one participant, and dropping one here would be a person the owner wrote to who never receives the message and is told nothing about it.
