Are these valid email addresses?

I found this samples of URL and email address, and found these.

1. [email protected]/test/
2. user:[email protected]
3. user:[email protected]/test/index.html

Are these valid(possible) email addresses?

Solution

  • The addresses are illegal.

    The local part of an email adress can not contain : except in a quoted part.

    The domainname has to be a valid hostname, and as such can not include directory.

    As idipous notes the linked page does not indicate that these should be interpreted as email adresses.
