Counterpoint: I just sent an email to "info@info.", and Thunderbird and my MTA (postfix) and my mail relay all accepted it. I guess it's possible that a TLD (especially one of the newer ones) could accept email addresses in the TLD itself.
It turns out that "info@info." isn't a mailbox as of right now, but I think it's a valid and accepted address, at least by the software listed above. And it could be a valid mailbox, just isn't in this particular case.
Maybe the more conservative approach is to say that "info@info." (and "a@b.", etc.) should be considered valid email addresses.
If you were actually trying to send email to a mailbox in the "info" TLD, I think most resolvers would resolve "info" as a relative domain name, which isn't what we'd want to happen: you'd have to specify the domain as "info.". |
