Question

I found this samples of URL and email address, and found these.

1. user@subdomain.example.com/test/
2. user:password@subdomain.example.com
3. user:password@subdomain.example.com/test/index.html

Are these valid(possible) email addresses?

Was it helpful?

Solution 2

The addresses are illegal.

The local part of an email adress can not contain : except in a quoted part.

The domainname has to be a valid hostname, and as such can not include directory.

As idipous notes the linked page does not indicate that these should be interpreted as email adresses.

OTHER TIPS

These are not email addresses. These are ssh connection statements or http connections or with no protocol at all pointing to a particular directory on the server. For example if you want to use scp you write something like

scp test.txt user@myhost:/dirtocopyto
