The Message Exchange Management Guide, edition of March 1992, for MX V3.1,
page 3-1.

To quote from the above reference, "the rule processor treats the addresses
as ordinary text strings and does not understand the syntax of RFC 821
addresses."  In other words, don't worry about tokenizing.

MCP> DEFINE REWRITE_RULE "<{u}@{h}.uucp>" "<{u}%{h}.uucp@germany.eu.net>"
MCP> SAVE
MCP> RESET

More to the point, why fool with rewrite rules?

MCP> DEFINE PATH *.UUCP    SMTP/ROUTE="germany.eu.net"
                           ^^^^-or different, as appropriate

(Remember that the order of the DEFINE commands is important; you may have
to edit CONFIG.MCP and start over.)
