Some mail clients are so smart, when you put an @ in your e-mail ID
they automatically consider it a part of the hostname or a server name
and act accordingly. What you need is really smarter clients, not a
Microsuxism where the client considers itself smarter than the user.
To solve your problem, use linuxlingam!bhairon.com or
linuxlingam#bhairon.com. bhairon is running VishwaKarma AFAIK, and
the ! and # variants were created specifically to resolve this kind of
issue.
