Where did those bad addresses come from?  In my experience, they
usually come from foreigh mail systems.  I've never seen a
native RFC 822 system which assigned mail addresses with
embedded parenthesis to its users.

Which is not to say that people don't misspell addresses, but
that's a different problem.
