|Now the question: Is the original internet style address (with 'at' sign)

Yes, it is.

|Is the way my smarthost re-wrote the address
|[apple!cvg.sdrc.com!"FEGUY::CAE237"] a valid way to re-write the address?

Depends on whether or not it works when you reply to it; it seems as though
that depends completely on "apple".  (Did apple do the rewriting?...).  If
it doesn't work, then it's not a valid way to re-write the address (although
I would have expected that particular form to work.)
