The format is:
userformat@domain
the @domain is an '@' sign followed by the desired alphanumeric domain text.
The userformat string is optional and can contain text as well as replacement
strings. The default userformat string, if one is not specified, is "%m". The
following replacement strings are available:
%% = a single percent sign
%s = surname
%g = given name
%i = middle initial
%d = display name
%m = mailbox
%rxy (Replace all subsequent characters x with character y in username.
If x == y,then the char will be deleted)
Note: Invalid characters (per RFC 821/822 email address spec) are removed from
user name (unless explicitly replaced using the %r).
Examples for mailbox = "markc"
display name = "Mark M. Clark"
surname = "Clark"
given name = "Mark"
