Good point, thanks.  Note that doing that means you have to give the   
full recipient address; in some circumstances, you might be able to get
away with anchoring the beginning and terminating the localpart with @ 
in each case.  For example, you can do
  ^^(user1 at biglongdomainname|user2 at biglongdomainname)^^
or 
  ^^(user1@|user2@)
which is useful if you have both a public and a private domain name;
if not, and if you want to be really careful,
  ^^(user1@|user2@)biglongdomainname^^
