The way that is handled is requoting this that need to be quoted.

For example if I relay mail to example.com I should be able to take
an address of ",a"."b"@example.com and convert it locally to the
real address of ,[EMAIL PROTECTED] and then requote it for the relay as
",a.b"@example.com and things should work just fine.
If you really want an address of "local"@example.com, it should be encoded
as "\"local\""@example.com.

If you look at the "Joe\,Smith" example in rfc 821, it speciifcally says
this represents a 9 character string with a comma being the fourth character.
