List of mock valid/invalid Email Addresses for Unit Tests

Question

Does anyone know of a list of email addresses (which don’t need to be real) I can use for an email validation assembly for a unit test?

I’ve been looking for such a list and can’t seem to find one. I’m not looking for real addresses, just ones that fit, and the more things I can throw at the test the better. I’ve got 10 right now, but if there is a list, it would give me a more thorough test.

Check the tests of the Apache Commons EmailValidator class:

The EmailValidatorTest in the Hibernate Validator also contains some address.

The first two links are broken, BTW. Been a while since this post. :) – Don Branson Aug 11 '22 at 13:39

Here is a set of test emails that Dominic Sayers uses to test his isEmail validator:

That list you've linked to looks quite useful at first glance, but your (overly brief) answer seems to pull that list out of its context. Could you comment a little on it? For example, what "test suite" or project does it belong to? What do the "Expected" / "Strict Mode" / "Public Mode" columns mean? Is it up-to-date? etc. – stakx - no longer contributing Jul 20 '12 at 16:01
No, it's not out of context. Sayer's tool has a DSN lookup feature. http://isemail.info/about. https://code.google.com/p/isemail/issues/list. – james.garriss Jun 16 '14 at 16:12
Having said that, @Alex, it's always best to give a bit of context when giving an answer so that it's not a link-only answer. – james.garriss Jun 16 '14 at 16:13

I like to use the set in this page on email validating regexes because the addresses contain what they're testing inside the email address.
