http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address

The format of email addresses is local-part@domain where the local-part may be up to 64 characters long and the domain name may have a maximum of 253 characters - but the maximum 256 characters length of a forward or reverse path restricts the entire email address to be no more than 254 characters.[1] - formally defined in RFC 5322 (sections 3.2.3 and 3.4.1) and by RFC 5321.
