According to the revelant RFC, it is legal. I copied the regex from the
RFC:  
atext           [A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?$^_`}{|~.-]{1,}
qtext           "\""[!-~]{1,}"\""
mailbox         {atext}|{qtext}

Support for funky chars like # is there to enable interoperability with
non Internet mail systems. Something that may be a bit outdated today,
but the RFC is the standard and the standard is there to be enforced,
isn't it?
