…aracters long.

See RFC 3696 erratum 1690:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?eid=1690

There is a restriction in RFC 2821 on the length of an
address in MAIL and RCPT commands of 254 characters. Since addresses
that do not fit in those fields are not normally useful, the upper
limit on address lengths should normally be considered to be 254.
