What is the problem with mapping these kind of addresses into
e.g.

   jan."van der steen"@somewhere.in.nl

It is a completely valid RFC822 local-part constructed of
2 words, one of which is a qouted string.
Please take care with mapping undescores to spaces and v.v.,
it has been causing us lots of problems lately. People also
use underscores in local-parts. They shouldn't necessarily
be mapped into spaces!
