RFC 2822 specifies the syntax for email addresses. There's no maximum,
because a header can be "folded" across lines, like in this "example of a
long email address"@somewhere.net. So the 998 character limit on line
length does not limit the address length.
But, I'd bet that a lot of software doesn't properly implement the
specification, including keitai. And, of course, all keitai impose
arbitrary limits on their functionality. Sorry, I don't know if that's
specified anywhere.
