Re^4: Email::Valid, what am I doing wrong here?

The reason why Google can do this, and make this rejection useful, if because Gmail is an interactive application. The spaces in an entered email address are indeed likely a mistake by the user, and he's given a chance to fix it, either way.

But if the address was passed along to a mail server in batch, then it'd better accept it!
