There is no real reason that one would want more than one '@' in an
address. The ignorant masses fear such a server since using more than one
'@' (or a '%') is a common trick to get a server to relay for you.
qmail, ofcourse, is not vulnerable to this problem.
There is no real reason that one would want to disallow more than one '@'
in an address. It is valid, so why disallow it.
