If I am not mistaken, From/To/Cc address fields syntax states that
comma is a separator if not placed within quoted string (when multiple
addresses are present in the header field).
Thus, the MTA assumes there are two entries, "my" and "test
<my@???>" and appends the default domain name to the first entry.
All the best,
Konstantin
