Description

For testing purposes, gmail allows to extend a regular address

[e-mail]
to
[e-mail]
and those work fine with MTAs and MUAs of various makers.

But unfortunately org.apache.commons.validator.EmailValidator doesn't appear to like this.

Suggestions:
1) fix it
2) in EmailValidator.java, document which RFCs you implement (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.4?)
