I'm locked out of my 6 year old Chipotle account because they now say my email address is invalid when I login. Here is me asking for their help:

sacbuntchris@lemmy.world to Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world – 1562 points –

I also reached out to them on Twitter but they directed me to this form. I followed up with them on Twitter with what happened in this screenshot but they are now ignoring me.

Technically you don't need a period for a valid address. "a@a" is a valid email address.

Not a lot of people sending emails using hostnames nowadays though.

Could be a Tld without a domain in front.

Can you give an example of that?

I've been working with websites, frontend and backend code for almost 20 years, somehow never knew this was a thing. Weird.

That's really neat. It of course makes sense because I can't see any reason why a TLD couldn't have MX records, but I am surprised that any TLD actually does.

I found an RFC with domains that have MX, A, and/or AAAA records. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7085
