Okay, thanks for the information. Though I read there:
"So it sends the mail on to mail.mit.edu and so on. This use of the percent 
sign is deprecated because of the associated risk of spam relaying. (See 
above.)

Note that there is no official document, that makes the percent sign special. 
It is strictly up to the receiving host, whether it will interpret the percent 
sign in this special way."

Conclusion:
a) it's not official
b) it's deprecated

So what the openvas-test does is assuming a delivery that doesn't happen. The 
way openvas works it can't check. If we wanna keep that check, we should at 
least put some more information into the warning.
