That is very odd.  I took a quick glance at the GremNOS source 
and didn't spot anything in the address rewriting (or the wildmat 
pattern matching it uses) that would do anything unexpected with 
quotation marks.

Here's a wild, wild guess: whatever process(es) there are that 
add the quotation marks are dumb and just keep adding them at 
whatever stage along the delivery, so perhaps you end up with an 
address like ""v$imt$v""@i-m-t.demon.co.uk ??  To eliminate this 
possibility, I'd suggest you put an R at the end of the rewrite 
rule to recurse the rule, i.e.

  "v$imt$v"@i-m-t.demon.co.uk  v$$imt$$v@i-m-t.demon.co.uk  r

See if that makes any difference...

Cheers,
Pete
