Specifically, quoting RFC1123:

     5.2.17  Domain Literals: RFC-822 Section 6.2.3

         A mailer MUST be able to accept and parse an Internet domain
         literal whose content ("dtext"; see RFC-822) is a dotted-
         decimal host address.  This satisfies the requirement of
         Section 2.1 for the case of mail.

         An SMTP MUST accept and recognize a domain literal for any of
         its own IP addresses.

And in 2.1:

        ...a dotted-decimal number must be enclosed within
           "[ ]" brackets for SMTP mail (see Section 5.2.17).
