OK, it means the '&' might be legal - I don't see it (&) being restricted being a part of an email address in the RFC822.

If that's the case, it means that your MTA (MailTransportAgent) [like sendmail or some such) or your local UNIX machine cannot handle this type an email address....

Others maybe able to help you there - I'm not that good with the sendmail config.
