There is an MX record for ai, so the dot after the @ is strictly not required:

  ;; ANSWER SECTION:
  ai.			14400	IN	MX	10 mail.offshore.ai.

  ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
  mail.offshore.ai.	14400	IN	A	209.59.119.34


Yeah, good luck to whoever uses that address. I would expect many MTAs to have problems delivering to that, let alone web form validation.


Which MTAs do you suspect wouldn't deliver it? I've used internal zones of that form extensively without issue on all the common OSS MTAs (postfix, sendmail, exim).

I'm unaware of any common MTA software which wouldn't handle it.


Several of the hosted ESPs I used couldn't handle .aero and .mobi at the time they came out.
