I've been having quite a few bounces recently when I've been attempting
to send mail to mixed format addresses.

( ie someone%somewhere@somewhere.else )

Do the New Zealand nameservers actually support this form of addressing?

If not, how easily can they be upgraded to do so, as it's a bloody
nuisance to have to try and manually route mail after it has been
bounced back in your face.

I'll follow-up shortly with examples....

No they don't...

This isn't a DNS issue - all DNS (via MX) records will give you is a
resolution of the "@somewhere.else" bit. You may have a problem with your
mail software (that's assuming the addresses you are using are correct,
and the mailer on the gateway machine is compliant).

This is a joke right?  Upgraded?!?  Is that the footsteps of Andy L. I
hear dragging the halls ... you shouldn't have made him angry like
this, you won't like him when he's angry.
