	Treading into dangerous waters here, but I'll give this a shot.
I think the translation you suggest here is wrong, according to RFC 822.  I
think the way this should be translated is:

	A!B!C@D  yields	   D!A!B!C

You should (God, I hope this is right) always take the rightmost domain first,
and use the preceeding UUCP bang-path address as fodder for D's mailer (it is
presumed that D has a route to A, or can figure one out).

	If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will correct me, but I think in this 
case I have that right.  If that's not what you're asking, then I must have
misunderstood the question.
