I have found this addressing in RFC 5321 too (4.1.1.11): 

    Reverse-path   = Path / "<>"

    Path           = "<" [ A-d-l ":" ] Mailbox ">"

    A-d-l          = At-domain *( "," At-domain )
                   ; Note that this form, the so-called "source
                   ; route", MUST BE accepted, SHOULD NOT be
                   ; generated, and SHOULD be ignored.

    Mailbox        = Local-part "@" ( Domain / address-literal )


however the format of <@do.ma.in> is still invalid, since it must be 
followed by :a...@re.ss
