Valid domain names for ShouldEmploy.Me

Email Addresses

For the lefthand part (before"@") we allow:

• Characters A to Z
• Digits 0 to 9
• "." and "_"

Avoid using the "." and "_" as first or last characters as people will omit them when typing.

Whilst the lefthand side of email addresses can be case sensitive, our servers ignore case. e.g. "Albert.Einstein@ShouldEmploy.Me" and "albert.einstein@ShouldEmploy.Me" will both work.

Domain Name

Since the optional part of between the "@" and the ".ShouldEmploy.Me" is not known to us until you use it, you must ensure that the address is a valid domain name and that all email servers involved will work with it.

Suggested tips on forming a domain name

• Test it before sending it out!
• Use the employers domain e.g. metoffice.gov.uk -> Clare.Voyant@MetOffice.ShouldEmploy.Me
• Use letters A-Z, digits 0-9, and "-" and "."
• Don't start with a "."
• Don't use all digits between any two "." (not Bad.Boy@127.ShouldEmploy.Me)
• Domain names are case insensitive so use CamelCase
• No more than 63 characters per label
