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

The gateway at sprint.com needs the /c,/admd,/prmd, etc. to parse out the
X.400 address for the Sprintmail side.  Internet (SMTP) mail could care less
about anything before the @ sign in "/...../@sprint.com".  The format isn't
straight X.400 (everyone has a different implementation of X.400 addressing
for their UA/MTA) but it's what that particular gateway needs.
