Currently, Django makes it seem that using an EmailField / EmailValidator
will protect projects from getting invalid emails in their database, for
example: emails starting with a dot like "[email protected]" will be invalid as
expected.
But in reality, Django doesn't actually care :
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/31959#ticket
It would be only fair to users to document that the EmailValidator will
let invalid emails through, which will be the cause of SMTPError, and that
people who don't want invalid emails in their EmailField must override and
fix Django's default behaviour.
