@ signs in user ids to allow email address to be used

There have been numerous posts on this forum about the fact that you can’t use ANY email address from any domain as the userid.

IE if we are “www.whoever.com” & we want to allow access to “fredblogs@hotmail.com” we can’t… because @signs are disallowed & this user id would be truncated to “fredblogs”, which would effectively be fredbloggs@whoever.com

Does this problem still exist in R7
