I guess there are two options. When doing a purely lexicographic validity check of \
email addresses the Validator needs a list of valid TLDs and a mechanism to update \
them. (either all TLDs or specifically the dotlessones: \
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7085#section-2.3)
When doing network based validation it needs a way to deal with 127.0.53.53 (and \
similiar?) blacklist answers. In case of @gmail. the MX records are caused by \

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Routines
> Affects Versions: 1.4.1 Release
> Reporter: Ralph Goers
>
> The VALIDATOR-273 patch causes EmailValidator to allow addresses such as x.y@gmail. \
> Unfortunately, this is causing us problems as none of the email apps we have tried \
> will actually allow that email address to be sent. Although the RFCs may state it \
> is valid, in practice it apparently isn't. Some sort of option is needed to allow \
> providing just the domain to fail. As a consequence we have had to revert to a \
> prior release of commons-validator.
