Email validation should ignore caps in domain #5

Open camille-readbean opened 5 months ago

According to the RFC 5321 protocol, the local part can be sensitive to the scrap, depending on the messaging provider. However, the majority of them accept the use of capital letters. This means that if you write: contact@captainverify.com or CONtact@Captainverify.com, your message should, in most cases, arrive safely.

The part after the @ aka the DOMAIN part should not be treated as different emails

aka, if beniceyu@example.com exist, i should not be able to add in berniceyu@EXAMPLE.COM

As a recruiter, this may mean candidates may try to apply multiple times under the same email.
