This
breaks down totally when people choose domains as UUCP intermediaries:
ucbvax!relay.uu.net!mikebw at uucp.bilow.com
is a classic example of an address which cannot be validly parsed no matter
what you do with it, and I remember seeing things like this as long ago as the

Of course, the whole thing was a hack that couldn't be generalized.
But it *did* follow the First Fundamental Law: It worked. At least,
for the most common case. But it was enough to get e-mail into and
out of two different companies I worked for.
