I can't check the RFC right now, but I know quite a few addresses come
out of HP looking like last_first/node@gateway.dom.hp.com
These addresses are from HP's Openmail mail system, and all mail coming
from HP's mail system on the MPE systems come through these gateways when
going to Unix, and the wider world.
I hope that someone checked the RFC before settling on that form of
address, but I was not involved, and can't say for certain.
