In notify-mailer, policy.ValidEmail sometimes rejects valid e-mail addresses #5372

Description

@jprenken

Boulder checks the Public Suffix List (among other things) to disallow registering with an invalid e-mail address. However, the PSL changes from time to time (and/or the check was once more permissive). The policy.ValidEmail check keeps notify-mailer from being able to e-mail certain existing subscribers.

Most of the affected e-mail addresses are invalid, but not all: a few ICANN TLDs in the Public Suffix List do have MX records, and are apparently actively used for e-mail. notify-mailer will skip them:

skipping "redacted": contact e-mail "redacted" has invalid domain : Domain name is an ICANN TLD
