What's wrong with it is that you can't validate an email address using a regular expression - the syntax is too complex. But as an answer (or, indeed, a question) that's extraordinarily niche...

I would say it's fairly simple to validate-- just not with regex.

With regex; I'd just test ([^]+)@([^]{1,255}). Or with JS: /(.+)@(.{1,255})/su.
