I think this is a violation of RFC822, actually.  It depends on just what
kinds of checking Gnus performs.  A common use of Reply-To (and one of the
intents of RFC822) is to specify a gatewayed mailbox that will work when
the conventional "user@domain" format will fail.  Such addresses have
potentially infinite chance to fail the tests for an Internet "user@domain"
address because most are completely different, and many are technically
illlegal.
