> The InternetAddress parser is restricting the local part to not have multiple dots in a row.  Although this may be rfc822 compliant, email address on the internet can and do have multiple dot in the local part.  For example the email address "k..allen@enron.com" was an address at Enron and is included in the Enron email corpus:
>  
> InternetAddress.parse("k..allen@enron.com");
> Exception in thread "main" javax.mail.internet.AddressException: Invalid local part (k..allen@enron.com,2)
