If I am not mistaken, From/To/Cc address fields syntax states that comma is a separator if not placed within quoted string (when multiple addresses are present in the header field). Thus, the MTA assumes there are two entries, "my" and "test <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" and appends the default domain name to the first entry.
