Further information:
Stackoverflow: What is the maximum length of a valid email address?
Instead of referring to the
max
condition manually, the global maximum length makes sure that all e-mail addresses are conform to the RFC specification.This pull request adds this condition.
Off-topic: Other positive side effects are, that some database fields with a 255 VARCHAR limit, which is quite common for an e-mail address, won't be exceeded.
