    Limitation of email address length...

    Is there a limit to the size of an email address.  We have client who registered a domain name which is 51 characters long (59 with the forms@......com).  She is unable to receive any email from outside the server into her account. All other accounts on the server appear to be functioning normally.  Do I need to increase the length limitation on the email address name somewhere in a setting as yet unrevealed???

    Thanks...

    Might I just say.......wow.  That's a long email address.  Maybe she isn't receiving any emails because people are misspelling the email address, since it probably is an entire sentence????

    I don't believe that there is a limitation size for email addresses.

    Yes too long, I agree. Would be much better from the point of view of typos and productivity in general to shorten. However it is quirky though that we can send email from other client accounts on the server to her but not from email accounts outside the server.  I have copied and pasted the same address onto both emails and the outside one just does not get through.
