I'm not sure what you're asking.  Are you saying that UK mailers
reverse the domain segments and then won't accept outbound mail
in the same form? (retch, retch)

Right there is nothing you do to get addresses turned around.  I
don't think it's the job of the MUA to diddle with address formats.
Clearly this is a matter for the MTA.
