currently we're not very rigorous in checking the format/length of email addresses, we should add a bit of verification logic given restrictions on email addresses:

09:21 < stomlinson> lloyd: according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address, the local part may be up to 64 characters, the domain part up to 253 characters, but an overall address may be no more than 254 characters.

Currently how an overly long email address would fail is unclear.
