The second of these is a legal RFC-822 address [the full stop isn't part of the address], the "(guest)" is a comment and should be treated as white space. Following the general rule for robustness in RFC-1123: "Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send" the address should be accepted, but sending it is unwise. # Owen Rees <rtor@ansa.co.uk> # APM, Poseidon House, Castle Park, Cambridge, CB3 0RD, UK # Phone: + 44 223 323010 Fax: + 44 223 359779
