the technically correct solution to

	"SITE1::MRGATE::\"A1::USER\""@decgate.fqdn.hostname

is to tell your dec sales rep that you are going to put the torch
to MailBus unless they fix this brain damage.  however, you should
also hack up your sendmail to deal with this in parseaddr() or
prescan().  The King James Version of sendmail (also called
DECWRL Sendmail), on gatekeeper.dec.com:~ftp/pub/misc/vixie/kjs.tar.Z,
unscrambles this mess in the neccessary way.
