That format is often used on MUAs which can send mail by various
means, i.e. Pegasus on Netware has a format something like this. The
leading SMTP: is a flag to Pegasus to indicate that it should send to
the SMTP server rather than to the Netware (or other) mail gateway.
However the leading SMTP: should, of course, be stripped off before the
mail is sent, as should the []. If it *is* coming from Pegasus (but I
don't think that uses the []) then the Pegasus installation is
misconfigured in some way because Pegasus is actually quite well
behaved re: RFCs.
