Almost correct. ^.+@.+$
Too hard to validate properly to be worth it. Even if it is technically valid that's insufficient. It must also work, and the easiest way to test that is to use it and verify that the user got what we sent.

I gave up when I got like 5 wrong. I've ran mail servers for decades, most of the invalid "valids" would get rejected by any mailservers I've administered.

Let us recite the email validator’s oath:
If it has something before the
