No, if it begins with a '^' then it is recognised as a regexp (page 181;
line 1 of the manual, which refers you back to address lists). I would say
try doing it with a regexp such as:
^(.+)\.\.(.+)@REAL_DOMAIN$ $1/$2@REAL_DOMAIN Tbct
If both 'x' and 'y' won't contain any dots themselves then you could try:
^([^.]+)\.\.([^.]+)@REAL_DOMAIN$ $1/$2@REAL_DOMAIN Tbct
