For example, the system would not let you create an email address such as: • @example.com • sbrown@example • sbrown@.org • www.commercialware.com The system does not confirm that your entry represents a valid email address, that the domain name (such as “commercialware” in commercialware.com) exists, or that the extension (such as “com” in commercialware.com) exists.
