Yes, but it also has this one:
# If a gateway program enters a mail message into the network at host
# unix.SRI.COM, the lines might read:
#
# From: John.Doe@A.CS.CMU.EDU
# Sender: network@unix.SRI.COM
I don't think it's suggesting that network@unix.sri.com issupposed to
be a valid email address.

It looks like it probably isn't, but it could be. A host could even
have just "z." as its FQDN, given the appropriate DNS records.

I think user-login-name@system-name would work best for news, but
nothing specific is required. I think user-mail-address would work
too, though not as well, based on the explanatory text in 2.2.2. It's
all pretty vague.

I don't see that.

I don't think I've ever seen them, so my information may be well out
of date.
