Description
This is a perfectly valid email address, and I found it because a user of mine tried to register with a similar address.
I confirmed that I can send email to aur.@feezback.com.

By the way, #26423 will change EmailValidator to use HTML5 validation. That validation is more liberal and may accept this address.

Oh, that's a good point! I had no idea about this, sorry. It seems to be a nice idea to simplify the validation. Anyone can use custom regex if needed. So I guess it will be better to close this one as duplicate to #26423.

I would say it is perfectly fine that this e-mail didn't pass through e-mail validation because dot character is not allowed as the last character of the email local-part.
Pls. see https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322, sections 3.4.1, 3.2.3, 3.2.4 and 4.4.
Maybe some mail servers still allow this obsolete syntax but this fact surely doesn't mean EmailValidator should accept it.
