No guarantee that there'll be a dot after the at. (Technically there's
no guarantee of an at sign either, but email addresses without at
signs are local-only, so in many contexts, you can assume there needs
to be an at.)

So the regex to match all valid email addresses that aren't local-only
is... drumroll please...
