As Ian pointed out, / isn't really good as it's a valid atext character from rfc 2822. So what if we head back to Salvatore's suggestion of:
Actually, you could use any character that isn't valid in an email domain, as long as you aren't munging the domain at all, but it's likely to be easier to implement with a colon.
well, but given that I've proposed we also allow raw user names (within the macports.org domain), we really can't use a character that's legal in the user name, as we'd then be inclined to spit the user name up, mistaking it for a domain ;)
Good point!
