They don't. Virtually all currently-live MTAs other than sendmail are constrained to RFC822-format email addresses, for instance. sendmail is not.
(These days, of course, that is a completely useless 'feature', but there's no denying that supporting it is a kind of flexibility that sendmail possesses that other MTAs do not.)

I think that can be done in qmail (well, everything can be done in qmail) and I think it can be done in Postfix.
