Does your email validation allow plus signs?

ColdFusion

Go ahead and check. I'll wait.

 

I'm not kidding, go ahead.  It'll be alright.  You're not the only one whose says made_up_account_here+do_not_spam_me@gmail.com is an invalid address.

 

"er, are you sure a plus sign is valid?", you ask?  Yep.  I'm certain.  All the time, I use my gmail accounts nifty feature that allows me to use, say, made_up_account_here+twitter@gmail.com to filter emails from twitter to a twitter "label".  But some sites, especially blog sites, always tell me my email is invalid when I put in the plus sign.  Well, your site is wrong, and I'd appreciate it if you'd fix it.  ;-)  (when you get time of course)

 

anyways, after you checked, what did you find?
