Supported Email Addresses and Characters

Print2Email supports using standard email addresses and characters, when sending an email.

The list of the allowed characters before the “@” character (username@domain.com) are the followings:

  • uppercase and lowercase Latin letters A to Z and a to z;
  • digits 0 to 9;
  • special characters !#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~;
  • dot ., provided that it is not the first or last character unless quoted, and provided also that it does not appear consecutively unless quoted (e.g. John..Doe@example.com is not allowed but "John..Doe"@example.com is allowed);
  • space and "(),:;<>@[\] characters are allowed with restrictions (they are only allowed inside a quoted string, as described in the paragraph below, and in addition, a backslash or double-quote must be preceded by a backslash);
  • comments are allowed with parentheses at either end of the local part; e.g. john.smith(comment)@example.com and (comment)john.smith@example.com are both equivalent to john.smith@example.com.

The list of the allowed characters after the “@” character (username@domain.com) are the followings:

  • uppercase and lowercase Latin letters A to Z and a to z;
  • digits 0 to 9, provided that top-level domain names are not all-numeric;
