The stuff to the right of the "@" must be a fully-qualified domain name, and using two sorts of punctuation ("!" and "%") in the local part of the address introduces potential ambiguities. Eric, I have no doubt that you might be able to get there, but other mail systems may not resolve the ambiguities in the same way that yours does. Just guessing, but since xerox.com is a legal domain, you might be able to get there as "cpd!someone@arisia.xerox.com".
