What is valid email?

How do you know? How do you validate an email?

Which of these emails are valid?

• hi@stavros.io ==Valid
• hi@ ==Invalid. No domain
• hi+there@stavros.io ==Valid
• stavros.k@stavros.io ==Valid
• stavros.@stavros.io ==Invalid. Can't have dot at the end
• stavros..k@stavros.io ==Invalid --- Can't have two dots in a row -!#$%&'#(-/=?@stavros.io ==Invalid
• f*ck@stavros.io == Valid
• #$%!^/&@stavros.io ==Valid
• h(a)i@stavros.io ==Invalid. No parentheses allowed! (Are you kidding me?)
• (sta)vros@stavros.io ==Valid. Its comment and will be ignored by the mail server -stavros@stavros.io(io) ==Still Valid
• em@il@stavros.io ==Invalid. Because you have two at signs
• "<\"@\".!#%$@stavros.io ==Invalid
• <\"@\".!#%$@stavros.io ==Invalid
• "hi@you"@stavros.io ==Valid. You can have quoted at sign
• "hi you"@stavros.io ==Valid.
• " "@stavros.io ==Valid.
• hi"@"you@stavros.io ==Invalid. Qoutes must be dot-sparated
