I feel it is right to use sow@cad.luth.se if you see the domain adress as an adress seen from the local domain, then you could write a mail to user@xxx.luth.se by only using user@xxx. On the other hand, it you see an adress from the global view which means that you always must use full domain adress, sow@se.luth.cad is more right as this is the way (from left to right) from the global view to the local place cad.
