It probably should be.  I will try and come up with wording real soon.

Actually, I'd say MUST NOT (but could live with SHOULD NOT). Every time I've seen "local" addresses used anywhere it caused problems down the road.

What happens when the MTA is upgraded to support multiple virtual domains? What about vanity domains?

Suppose I have the addresses <cnewman(_at_)isp(_dot_)com> and <*(_at_)cnewman(_dot_)isp(_dot_)com> which share the same Sieve script? Does the resolution of a "local" address act differently depending upon which address the message being filtered was sent to?
