Probably a bad idea to set things up like that in the first place. If you
expect to receive mail via an Internet host some arrangements have to be
made to let it know how to do it. Trying to pass this information along
with the message as part of the address just does not have a high success
rate. It does work in some cases, and if you want to receive your mail 
that way then keep doing it. 

But if you want trouble free mail, make the arrangements, pay the bills
and if necessary upgrade your mail software. Your correspondants will
thank you.
