Random Question about email
what is the minimum # of characters that an email address can be

like my friend wants to set up t@hisdomain.com but the form for seting up email accounts with his host doesn't allow anything less than 3 Characters to pass the form. So is 3 the minimum number as rule or does his host just suck?

Well, looking at RFC #822, it would seem that the standard only requires that it is at least one character. However, I looked at our mail server at work, and it only allows 3-30 characters. So most likely it is not your provider that is making that limitation, but the mail software they are using.
