 Email checks in notification.py are '''too strict'''. For instance '+' and
 '=' delimiters can be used in '''username''' part of RFC822 address but
 they are not allowed - see the code:

 File notification.py, revision 3356, line 138:

 {{{
 addrfmt = r"[\w\d_\.\-]+\@(([\w\d\-])+\.)+([\w\d]{2,4})+"
 }}}

 I'd suggest adding '+' and '=', as well as allowing \% as
 username/hostname delimiter too. And there is possibility of someone using
 user%host at host2 addresses too (think relaying).
