You may not want to store rfc 821 encodings of addresses.
Josh Jore@greentechnologist.org
is a valid email address. It just needs to be encoded when used in an
smtp transaction. Some MUAs don't have a way to inject messages with
unencoded email addresses. Others (such as qmail) do. Constraints on
unencoded addresses are going to be a lot simpler than those on rfc 821
encoded addresses.
