You are wrong.
See RFC822, page 27, for the definition of an address, which is permitted
to be a mailbox, which is permitted to be an addr-spec, which has a
local-part, an at sign ('@'), and a domain, and then see that the local
part is one (or more, if dot-seperated) words.
Then see RFC822, page 12 to see that an atom is any string of one or
more characters, not including specials, SPACE, and CTLs, and note that
an exclamation point is not a special.
That said, an exclamation point *is* a PITA, especially when starting
a new message from the command line in a shell where it's a meta
character (like, oh, csh and tcsh).
