`emailaddr` type for PostgreSQL

===============================

https://twitter.com/pvh/status/667106073199775744

This is an extension for PostgreSQL that provides a type `emailaddr`

for storing email addresses.

Installation

------------

To build and install this module:

    make

    make install

or selecting a specific PostgreSQL installation:

    make PG_CONFIG=/some/where/bin/pg_config

    make PG_CONFIG=/some/where/bin/pg_config install

And finally inside the database:

    CREATE EXTENSION emailaddr;

Using

-----

This module provides a data type `emailaddr` that you can use like a

normal type.  For example:

```sql

CREATE TABLE accounts (

    id int PRIMARY KEY,

    name text,

    email emailaddr

);

INSERT INTO accounts VALUES (1, 'Peter Eisentraut', '[email protected]');

```

The accepted addresses correspond approximately to the `addr-spec`

production in [RFC 5322](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5322.txt)

(so it's of the type `[email protected]`, but not `"Some Name"

`).
