An email address must not exceed 254 characters.

See this stackoverflow question.

According to RFC 3696, email address can only be up to 254 characters. Currently validator does not do this check.

It looks like we can live with this, I don't see any big value add, IMHO. cc. @chriso

@profnandaa It's about the use of the module, validator says that it validates email id, but if it miss such a important thing, it won't be doing what it states it does, validate an email address.

I found it only accept max. 72 characters as a valid email address. Strange.

@winfredkqin Actually, it is like between dots there could be max 72 characters.
