I'm using PHP version 5.3.10. The following is the code:
<?php
$email = "test@example.c";
if (filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
echo "Email: ".$email." correct";
else
echo "email not correct";
?>
It returns: "Email: test@example.c is correct.
I think a one-character TLD is incorrect (according to this list: http://data.iana.org/TLD /tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt, I didn’t know there was a character-length top-level domain).
So, does the FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL filter work properly?

FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL does not support PHP 5.2.14
Verifying email addresses is a bit complicated. Take a look at this list:
Valid email address
Invalid email address
Source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address
Most all email validation implementations are "buggy", but the php implementation works fine since it accepts all common email addresses

About the "partial" address that does not exist. In the domain section, a comment in the source code (in ext/filter/logical_filters.c) proves this rejection:
