It's not just for "source routing". It's perfectly legal for me to
set up <merlyn@news@stonehenge.com> to use for Usenet postings. Only
the rightmost "@" is significant *outside* the mail handler for
stonehenge.com. Any presumptions about meaning to the left of that
one are quite possibly wrong.
Hmm. Maybe I just invented a new spamproof address scheme, until the
scrapers figure this out!
