Note also the significance of the dots vs dashes in their taxonomy. Once it gets to "mailbox" it's all dashes, signifying no more breakdown by the overarching system beyond "we finally hit a mailbox designation".

I presume that dashed bit is what we'd think of as a normal email address.

looks like gateway address between SMTP and X.400
