Team's Response

Thank you for your report, we understand your concern however we must reject this bug report as 123@123 is a valid email address according to the standard for email address format. The domain part of an email address can also be a local domain name with no TLD.

You may refer to the standard for email addresses here: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.4.1 however we understand it can be hard to read and there are many other supporting documents to follow.
