Whatever you enclose in < > chars is treated as an e-mail address. When
mail servers find an address that is not a FQDN (fully-qualified domain
name) they consider it a local recipient and they normally autocomplete the
adress appending server's main domain name.

As Ewoud points you probably mean this:

"John Smith" <jsmith@example.com>
