My Zimbra UI says it "might be invalid"; the default postfix config inside
it tries to send it to n at ai.baylink.com, and complains because the domain
won't resolve.

If I'm reading 3.2.4 of 2822 properly (that notation is one I'm not 
entirely familiar with, and should be), that really is a valid 2822
address, as odd as it sounds.

Clearly, it's semantics are unexpected, though.  I guess I should go hang
a bug on it.

Cheers,
