Email address limit

Issue

Is there a limit on the email address field in KCS?

Solution

RFC822 limits the local part and the mail domain to a maximum of 64 characters each.

Total length of an Internet mail address must not exceed 256 characters (critical especially for embedded X.400 addresses)

Note:   Some of the given restrictions may not apply to special environments. For example, addresses with non-US-ASCII characters or very long SMTP addresses may work in some scenarios. However, it is strongly recommended to keep the RFC 822 addressing specifications to guarantee interoperability.
