      Exactly. After the @ they should just confirm there’s at least one period. The rest is pretty much up in the air.

    That is 100% a bot, and whoever made the bot just stuck in a custom regex to match “[email protected]” instead of using a standardized domain validation lib that actually handles cases like yours correctly.

    Edit: the bots are redirecting you to bots are redirecting you to bots. This is not a bug. This is by design.
