In the short term, would RLIKE help?
"select ... from ... where name RLIKE '[0]*name@realm' ...;"
In the long term I would do several things;
1. Clean the data BEFORE it gets into the table [ie: strip the LZs].
2. Restructure the database to split the name into two halves:
eg: "name" [the bit before the @] and domain [the bit after it].
Hope this helps...
