Neither
	@host1:@host2:user@host3
nor
	@host1,@host2:user@host3
is correct.  The correct form is
	<@host1,@host2:user@host3>

If the first form is surrounded by angle-brackets, it corresponds to an early
draft of RFC822, so there's some chance that more sites will recognize it
than by chance.  But then again, we can ask why you're looking for ways to
bend standards?  Why not generate the correct form?
