So, I got some mail where the reply address resolved to:

  "FEGUY::CAE237"@CVG.SDRC.COM 

My smarthost re-wrote the address into UUCP format as:

   apple!cvg.sdrc.com!"FEGUY::CAE237"

When I replied to it, it bounced.

Now the question: Is the original internet style address (with 'at' sign)
a valid internet address? Is the way my smarthost re-wrote the address
a valid way to re-write the address?

Inquiring minds wanna know!

Regards,
  larry.
