You would think finding a document that lists invalid characters for SMTP or proxy address would be easy WRONG! Try it I dare you.

Ok, I was asked a question by an app developer to list invalid characters for smtp proxy address.  OK.. yeah sure google it and look up the RFC, does anyone actually understand it? I mean good grief just simply list what's invalid, I know a space is invalid for example.  The best I could do is http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh852533.aspx , but that's not a true list.  This person had and interesting article http://haacked.com/archive/2007/08/21/i-knew-how-to-validate-an-email-address-until-i.aspx/ but when I tried to input one of his supposed valid proxy address of Abc\@def"@example.com to an exchange mailbox Exchange complained and said it's not valid.  Can anyone point me to a simple list for goodness sake of invalid characters when creating a proxy address?  I would really appreciate it.
