Which of the following is technically correct?

(A)  R$+<@$+>	$#tcp$@$2$:$1		user is "user"
(B)  R$+<@$+>	$#tcp$@$2$:$1@$2	user is "user@host"

I argue strongly in favor of the most precise definition at all times,
i.e., (B).  Consider that sendmail might have found that $2 requires
MX delivery Elsewhere.  You need to tell Elsewhere where you really
meant for it to go ($2).  $1@$2 and $1@Elsewhere are not necessarily
the same person.

(B)  is correct (at least in my opinion)
