use bkrukowski\TransparentEmail\Emails\Email;
use bkrukowski\TransparentEmail\Emails\EmailInterface;
use bkrukowski\TransparentEmail\Emails\InvalidEmailException;

try {
    $factory = new TransparentEmailFactory();
    $cleaner = $factory->createDefault();
    $inputEmail = new Email('John.Doe+alias@gmail.com');

Versioning

The version numbers follow the Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 scheme., _(*4)

Yahoo.com

Aliases work different on Yahoo than on Gmail. On Gmail part after plus is skipped. For example message sent to janedoe+alias@gmail.com will be redirected to janedoe@gmail.com., _(*5)

Yahoo uses the following pattern*:, _(*6)

baseName-keyword@yahoo.com, _(*7)

• baseName - value defined by the user, different than email login;
• keyword - one from a list of keywords defined by the user.

Therefore we do not know what is the real email, so in this case result will be baseName@yahoo.com, which actually does not exist., _(*8)
