says.

Others have mentioned this, but that is a perfectly valid email address.
Maybe
instead of spending time writing a regex to exclude some special case,
you
should take the time to make sure your client understands what an email
address
is. Is there a valid reason to exclude some email addresses and not
others?
Why? Don't hesitate to question a client.

As a consultant, I would consider it my responsibility to do so.
