Does "be one which he is authorized to use" inherit the SHOULD? If it does
or doesn't, either way, there should be a word (or two) between "or" and
"be" indicating the weight of the conditional clause explicitly.
Assuming the SHOULD because of the "or", why not:
All mailboxes in the From-content field MUST either belong to one of the
poster(s) of the article or be one which he is authorized to use. Any
mailbox which is not a valid email address MUST end in the top level domain
of ".invalid" [RFC 2606].
Possibly MUST EITHER and OR in caps to emphasize the either-or relation to
the MUST.
