I use C# so I can use EmailAddressAttribute directly, but Microsoft has a very nice Regular Expression you can look at here: referencesource.microsoft.com/…

I can be very brief here: don't. Of all the assumptions you've made here, only one is correct: there has to be an @ in the email address. Otherwise: it can have multiple dots, it can have no dots, it can have no TLD, it can have no domain, it can have IP addresses as domain, it can have quotes, it can have spaces, etc. When validating emails the correct approach is to check for the presence of an @ and hope for the best. You can always try to send an email and see if it bounces back.
