 * Hi. Messages we’re trying to send are being blocked due to the email address 
   being wrong. When I enter an address such as [scott8035+test3@gmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/email-address-gets-mangled/scott8035+test3@gmail.com?output_format=md),
   it gets changed to [test@scotttest3.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/email-address-gets-mangled/test@scotttest3.com?output_format=md)
   and then complains that the domain doesn’t exist. Some people use the “+” feature
   in their email addresses, is this not allowed?

 * Hello [@scott8035](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scott8035/),
 * The “+” symbols are allowed in the emails. Most likely, this is the cache issue.
   Please cleare the site’s cache and try again. If the problem persists, please
   contact us via our private support system: [https://cleantalk.org/my/support/open](https://cleantalk.org/my/support/open)
 * Thank you.
