Email Address Problems

The Verizon systems reject any email addresses with a "+" as an invalid email address, even though such email addresses are completely valid. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Valid_email_addresses

I tried Verizon support though they just repeatedly told me such email addresses are invalid. The fact that I regularly receive email to such an address demonstrates this is false. Anyone have any suggestions? I could of course use a different email address, but since I pay Verizon I don't think it is too much to ask for them to support standard and valid email addresses.

Citiing the RFC concerning the standard of the "+" in an E-mail address: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.2.3

Yep, the "+" is definitely supported.

From the supplied link:

   atext           =   ALPHA / DIGIT /    ; Printable US-ASCII
                       "!" / "#" /        ;  characters not including
                       "$" / "%" /        ;  specials.  Used for atoms.
                       "&" / "'" /
                       "*" / "+" /
                       "-" / "/" /
                       "=" / "?" /
                       "^" / "_" /
                       "`" / "{" /
                       "|" / "}" /
                       "~"
