Yes, but the above _is_ a full domain name.
Unfortunately, it's not the one you might want...

When I send mail to the US, it goes through relay.cs.net.
That machine translates the sender address, e.g. urlichs@ira.uka.de, to
urlichs%ira.uka.de@relay.cs.net.

It doesn't really make sense, but that's the way it is. :-(
