Thank you very much, I appreciate it.

Why? Can't the registration page be fixed to respect the standard? My point in complaining was that, contrary to this PHPBB forum, the registration site is using a validity test which doesn't respect Internet standards.

Well, as a matter of personal policy, I don't want to publish it in any public place. But it is something+something at gmail dot com. (Where "something" is a string of English lowercase letters). Gmail doesn't let you use "+". How did you manage to pull that off? As a matter of fact, it lets you. It's a neat advantage of using gmail, which I use to track the origin of spam. Suppose your e-mail is foobar at gmail dot com. You can send mail to any address in the form foobar+something at gmail dot com, and the mail will arrive at the same account, namely foobar at gmail dot com. You can then define filters based on the address used, or you can look at the headers of your spam to see which of the variants was used in the spam. So, whenever any web site asks me to register, I can give it a unique email address. If I start receiving spam through that unique email address, I know who the #%@@ who sold them my e-mail was.

Hello. I tried to register for free php hosting, and used an e-mail address that contains a plus sign "+". The site registration form claims that this is invalid. However, this is completely valid according to the standard. Moreover, it's the same mail address that I used to register to the forums.
