This error message indicates that the email address you’re attempting to use doesn’t adhere to the specific formatting guidelines outlined in RFC 2822. This RFC is a fundamental standard for email addresses, defining the correct syntax and structure.
Common Reasons for Non-Compliance:
- Missing or Incorrect ‘@’ Symbol: The ‘@’ symbol separates the local part (the username) from the domain part (the email provider). Its absence or incorrect placement is a common cause of this error.
- Invalid Local Part: The local part can contain letters (both uppercase and lowercase), numbers, underscores, hyphens, and periods. However, it cannot start or end with a period, and consecutive periods are not allowed.
- Invalid Domain Part: The domain part typically consists of one or more domain names separated by periods. Each domain name should adhere to specific rules, such as not starting or ending with a hyphen.
- Whitespace or Special Characters: Email addresses should not contain any whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, etc.) or special characters (except those allowed in the local and domain parts).
- Case Sensitivity: While email addresses are generally case-insensitive, some systems might be more strict about case. Ensure that the case of the characters matches the expected format.
