The email address is "user@xxxxxxxxxx".  However the DNS entry sends all 
MX requests to "mail.domain.org".  Like this:

-----------------------------------------------
# Zone = domain.org
.domain.org::ns1.server.com:3600
.domain.org::ns2.server.com:3600
+domain.org:192.168.0.1:3600
+www.domain.org:192.168.0.1:3600
+ftp.domain.org:192.168.0.1:3600
+mail.domain.org:192.168.0.1:3600
@domain.org::mail.domain.org:10:3600
-----------------------------------------------

Good point, I will have to read up on the official rules for using example 
domain names.  ;)
