It would be. I just hope to make it better than that.

I'm not sure that we differ on that, but there could be some problems with
it either way: how does the second example treat the example given yesterday
of info@dk? or fr...@sp...? Depending on how it parses, we could
block neither or both. Is it better to fail conservatively, aggressively, or
not at all? These are all things I'm trying to consider (my brain hurts).

I'm not convinced either, just an optimistic pessimist. That means that my
glass is half-full of crap :-).
