Looking at rfc821:
<local-part> ::= <dot-string> | <quoted-string>
<dot-string> ::= <string> | <string> "." <dot-string>
<string> ::= <char> | <char> <string>
<char> ::= <c> | "\" <x>
<c> ::= any one of the 128 ASCII characters, but not any
<special> or <SP>
<x> ::= any one of the 128 ASCII characters (no exceptions)
So this is still wrong to reject.
