   Once upon a time, my email address was
   <tp%mccall.claremont.edu@cunyvm.cuny.edu>. Expressed as a bang-path, this
   would be "...!cunyvm.cuny.edu!mccall.claremont.edu!tp". How would your
   system route this? As "bionet!mccall.claremont.edu!tp"? If so, and if you
   aren't on bitnet, you just lost my mail. Neither "mccall.claremont.edu" nor
   "claremont.edu" was at that time a registered domain on the internet. They
   only existed on bitnet. 

If you use a domain name that doesn't belong to you, you deserve to
lose.  That simple enough?  cf *.austin.ibm.com.
