The mailbox encoding standard assumes a mailbox name of the
form "<local-part>@<mail-domain>". .....
The DNS encodes the <local-part> as a single label, and
encodes <mail-domain> as a domain name. The single label from
the <local-part> is prefaced to the domain name from
<mail-domain> to form the domain name corresponding to the
mailbox. Thus the mailbox HOSTMASTER at SRI-NIC.ARPA is mapped
into the domain name HOSTMASTER.SRI-NIC.ARPA. If
the<local-part> contains dots or other special characters, its
representation in a master file will require the use of
backslash quoting to ensure that the domain name is properly
encoded. For example, the mailbox Action.domains at ISI.EDU
would be represented as Action\.domains.ISI.EDU.
