Just as a single data point, Google doesn't allow it, even when the email address is not on their domain but only via their Google Apps For Domains service: ,---- | These characters are not allowed: ", @ `---- They do allow you to (try to) send email to such addresses though, so I suspect there is little or no checking on the client side.
