I have problems with this because this might be a valid X.400 address but
this is NOT a valid RFC822 address. You are not allowed to use the
character "/" in a RFC822 address (I know there are differences in
the various RFCs but the newest say that "/" is forbidden).
Our MTA (smail 3.1.20) says that this address has an invalid character
and refuses such an address. The most MTAs of the European backbones 
refuses such an address too. 

Any idea to mail to a X.400-address over sprint.com without using "/"
or "#"? 

Bye, Heiko.
