Invalid Email Characters?

  #1  
Aug 6th, 2004
Does anyone have a list of invalid email characters? Specifically, I need to find out if "&" is invalid. Is the following a valid or invalid email address:

jack&jill@apple.com

??

Thanks,

Ken

just try it out and see if it works or not.
Or try this program that is supposed to test if your email is valid

I think one of those will help

And I believe & is not a valid character; you could just try by signing up with hotmail.com and using something like jack&jill etc. to see if it works, or try creating email accounts with your ISP.

& characters are allowed, however, there are some e-mail providers that don't allow you to have that character in your account name.
