Normally I would say to search for specific strings, such as /C={country}/
but now we have the problem of an enterprising hacker including the string
in his file/pipe hack. :(

Also, sprint.com is sometimes notorious for having people configure their
gateways to use /personal/stuff/and/ORname/@{prmd}.sprint.com, This
creates undeliverable mail, too!  which they then parse into {prmd} being
an unrecognized ORname. :( This only happens on softswitch X.400 gateways
in my experience.
