What do you do with something like:

	a!b%c		(where a, b, and c could domainized)

A lot of mailers on internet appear to do:

	b%c@a		(tack on .UUCP if a isn't domainized)

I prefer:

	a!b@c		(deliver to c)

because many folks here address things to a!b and I will forward them
to d for forwarding to c.  So I give d a "a!b%c@d".   Now, I could give
d "a!b@c@d", but that has two '@', or just "a!b@c".

What is considered defacto standard way(s) of rewriting "a!b%c"?

What is the defacto standard way of doing relays as described above?
