> Email Validator should not allow local part (user part) to start or end with a dot also dots.  Also a double dot is not allowed.
>  
> Copied from Email Address wiki:
> dot {{.}}, provided that it is not the first or last character and provided also that it does not appear consecutively (e.g., {{John..Doe@example.com}} is not allowed).
>  
> Below is from rfc3696:
> Without quotes, local-parts may consist of any combination of
>  alphabetic characters, digits, or any of the special characters
> ! # $ % & ' * + - / = ? ^ _ ` . \{ | } ~
> period (".") may also appear, but may not be used to start or end the
>  local part, nor may two or more consecutive periods appear. Stated
>  differently, any ASCII graphic (printing) character other than the
>  at-sign ("@"), backslash, double quote, comma, or square brackets may
>  appear without quoting. If any of that list of excluded characters
>  are to appear, they must be quoted.
